Everyone Burns the first Biscuits
The joy of making your own biscuits. The idea of cooking to some people is a scary operation but with a little practice you can become confident that if needed you can make a simple food, that can be wrapped in a dish cloth and get you through the day.
The primary biscuit ingredients are:
2 Cups of common Flower
4 Teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons of butter
¾ cup milk
Now the cooking part:
Start by Preheating the oven to 450 degrees.
While that’s warming up Sift flour into bowl and add, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar together in a large bowl. Mix with your fingers. Melt the butter in a small pan then add it to the milk.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, then slowly pour in part of the butter and milk and stir. Add just enough to make a soft dough.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead, roll and pat to shape into a slab of dough about a half-inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter (round glass top works) to cut out as many rounds as possible. Pull scraps together and roll into a smaller slab to cut additional biscuits.
Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet so they are touching. Brush tops with butter (optional).
Bake 10-12 minutes until biscuits have risen and tops are lightly browned.
Pro Tip, wash your pans and utensils while the biscuits are cooking
I suggest learning how to make biscuits at least once a week, once you got that down pat look for other mixes and spice changes. You wouldn’t want to get caught eating the same bread every day.
