Sunday Morning Biscuits
2 cups all purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup shortening (I use 1/4 cup regular and 1/4 cup butter
flavored
Crisco)
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 TBSP. honey
Preheat oven to 425.
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add milk, egg, and honey.
Mix using dough hook until ingredients are combined.
Don't over mix. Turn onto floured surface and knead 8-10 times.
Roll out to 1/2 in. thickness. Cut with biscuit cutters.
Place on ungreased baking sheet or biscuit pan and bake for 10-12
minutes. Yield 6-8 biscuits.
Hints: I break the egg into a 2/3 cup measuring cup, break the
yolk, and then add the milk to fill the cup. This seems to give
me the right consitancy for the dough. Secondly, you can use more
or less honey, or none at all. Third, the butter flavor Crisco
gives a nice flavor if eating with jam or syrup.
