Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup milk
Yield: 20 (2-inch) biscuits
Instructions:
-
🕵️♂️ Sift the dry ingredients (self-rising flour, baking powder, sugar, salt) into a mixing bowl, setting the stage for biscuit perfection.
-
🤲 Measure out the shortening and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry blender, two knives, or a blending fork. Blend until the mixture achieves a delightful “meal” texture.
-
🥛 Stir in almost all of the milk, gauging the dough’s pliability. If needed, incorporate the remaining milk to achieve a soft, puffy dough ideal for rolling.
-
🍥 Knead the dough on a lightly floured board, remembering that gentleness is key to avoiding tough biscuits.
-
🍕 Roll out the dough to your desired thickness – 1/4-inch for thin, crusty biscuits, or 1/2-inch for thick, substantial biscuits.
-
🍪 Place the cut biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet, adjusting the spacing for your preferred texture – close together for soft sides, or an inch apart for biscuits with crusty sides.
-
🔥 Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, ensuring a golden perfection that will make your kitchen smell like a haven of deliciousness.
Extra Flavor: ANGEL BISCUITS
-
🍞 For a heavenly twist, try Angel Biscuits! Begin by dissolving 1 package of dry yeast in 1/4 cup warm water, setting this magic potion aside.
-
🌾 In a separate enchanting bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 cup sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup shortening with the grace of a baking sorcerer.
-
🥄 Stir in 1 cup buttermilk, and don’t forget to add the water-yeast mixture. Blend the ingredients thoroughly until your dough becomes a spellbinding concoction.
-
🧙♂️ When you’re ready to bring this mystical dough to life, turn it out onto a floured board. Knead lightly, as one does in the realm of regular biscuits.
-
🎭 Roll out the dough and cut it into ethereal shapes with a biscuit cutter. Place these magical discs in a greased pan.
-
⏰ Let the biscuits rise slightly – the chillier the dough, the more patience is required. Then, whisk them away into a 400-degree oven until they dance to a lightly browned tune, approximately 20 minutes.
With these recipes, you’re not just making biscuits; you’re creating a culinary experience that resonates with warmth, aroma, and the joy of homemade goodness. Share these delightful bites with loved ones, and let the magic of biscuits unfold in your kitchen. 🌈✨
