Grandma’s Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon white sugar
– 1/2 cup margarine
– 1 cup milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
– In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Incorporate Margarine:
– Cut the margarine into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
4. Add Milk:
– Gradually stir in the milk until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
5. Knead the Dough:
– Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it 15-20 times.
6. Roll and Cut:
– Roll or pat the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch. Use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out the biscuits. Re-roll the scraps and cut until all the dough is used.
7. Prepare for Baking:
– Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, discarding any excess flour.
8. Bake:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
9. Serve:
– Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings like butter, jam, or honey.
Tips:
– For a richer flavor, you can substitute margarine with butter.
– Make sure not to over-knead the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
