Equipment
- 1 baking sheet or casserole dish
Ingredients
- 2 cup all purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup crisco shortening
- 2/3 cup milk whole is best, or lactose free variety
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter, according to your preference.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until completely blended.
- The mixture will look like clumps of sand. To the batter, add the milk and stir until the dough is just mixed. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Fold the dough over itself about 10 times to create layered biscuits. Roll out until about 1 inch thick. Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits without twisting the biscuit cutter.
- Place the biscuits into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter on top and serve.
