A few weeks ago, Tate was bemoaning her difficulties making biscuits, and I
remembered that I had this recipe from "Cooking for 1 or 2", an old
Nitty Gritty cookbook from the 1970s. So, Tate, this one's for you, and you've
gotten me wanting to try it again. This makes a batch of 6 - 12 biscuits,
depending on the size you cut them.
Biscuits - for a small batch of 6 - 12
1 C all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp butter
1/3 C milk
* Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together.
* Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
* Add milk and stir lightly; knead gently twelve (12) times
* Roll or pat dough to 1/2" thickness
* Cut into squares or rounds
* Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
