Steps:

• Stir together the flour, powered milk, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl.
• Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly.
• Fold in the buttermilk until the dough comes together.
• On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and use hands to press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
• Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined. Rub 2 tablespoons of the butter into the flour with your fingertips, until it is completely absorbed. Work the remaining butter into the flour until it is in even pieces about the size of a pea. Gently stir the milk into the flour mixture with a fork to make a loose dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Pat the dough by hand into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds like a business letter. (For a flakier biscuit repeat this folding a second time.) Pat the dough into a 5 by 8-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a 2- to 3-inch round cutter to make 6 biscuits, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the scraps of dough, cut 2 more biscuits, and place them on the baking sheet.
• Make a glaze by mixing the cream and melted butter together in a small bowl. Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with the glaze. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir with fork until soft dough forms.
• Place on lightly floured surface; knead 20 times or until smooth. Pat or roll lightly until dough is 1/2-inch thick. Cut with floured 2-inch cookie cutter to make 16 biscuits, rerolling dough scraps as necessary. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Sift together flour and baking powder.
• Stir in salt and sugar.
• Cut in the Crisco until the mixture resembles crumbs.
• Stir together eggs and milk.

• Stir just to moisten, then turn out onto a lightly floured board.
• Knead about 15 times, then pat lightly into a circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
• (The secret to light and fluffy biscuits is to handle the dough as little as possible) With a sharp round cutter, cut out rounds, without twisting the cutter.
• Just give it a sharp tap, then lift straight up (twisting the cutter causes the biscuits to slope over when they are baking) place on a baking sheet.
• Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve warm.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

GRANDMA'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt into a bowl. Use a pastry cutter to chop vegetable shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl and slowly add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring as you pour, until dough is moistened and well-mixed. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits have risen and are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450.
• Grease on 8-inch square baking pan or small baking sheet.
• Put the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable shortening and toss it to coat with the flour. Break the chunk into 5 or 6 smaller chunks and start rubbing the flour and shortening together with your fingers and letting the mixture fall back into the bowl. This does not take long; when the mixture looks like irregular lumps you have mixed enough.
• Add the milk all at once and stir to moisten all the flour and shortening. Dust a surface with flour, turn the dough onto the surface and knead the dough ten times.
• Pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a two-inch cookie cutter and place on the prepared pan with a little space between the biscuits.
• Bake 15-18 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.
• Serve hot with butter and honey.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few larger clumps remaining.
• Pour in the heavy cream; using a rubber spatula, fold cream into the dough, working in all directions and incorporating crumbs at the bottom of the bowl, until the dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. With floured fingers, gently pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick, pressing in any loose bits. Do not overwork the dough. Use a floured 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits as close together as possible. (Use one cut edge as the edge for the next biscuit.)
• Place the biscuits on an unlined baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Generously brush the tops of the biscuits with cream. Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the biscuits are golden and flecked with brown spots, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
• Follow instructions for Baking Powder Biscuits, adding 1/4 cup of finely chopped herbs, such as rosemary, oregano, thyme, or parsley, to the flour mixture after the butter has been cut in. Proceed with the recipe.
• Follow instructions for Baking Powder Biscuits, increasing sugar to 1/2 cup, and reducing butter to 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup). Pat dough to about 1 1/4 inches thick before cutting out rounds. Before baking, brush rounds with 1 lightly beaten large egg (do not brush with cream), and sprinkle generously with sanding sugar, if desired.
• While biscuits bake, slice 3 pints hulled fresh strawberries in half (or in quarters, if large). In a medium bowl, toss to combine with 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Let mixture macerate for 20 minutes.
• After baking biscuits, cool them on a wire rack for 15 minutes, and then split in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom halves on serving plates, and top each with a dollop of Vanilla Whipped Cream (page 391). Spoon strawberries and juice over each, and cover with the biscuit tops. Serve immediately, with additional strawberries and whipped cream on the side, if desired.
