We've been using this recipe for years. I like the fact that it's basic, similar to what the Pioneers used. I can use milk from my goats or future cow, and I can make my own butter from cream. These are delicious with buttermilk also.
Homemade Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold butter
3/4 cup cold milk or cold buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut butter into the dry mixture until is resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cold milk with a fork until dough forms a ball.
Rub olive oil into your hands, and then knead the dough 5-6 times on a floured surface, or pastry cloth.
Roll dough into about a 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a 3 inch biscuit cutter. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 10-11 minutes at 450°F. or until golden brown.
Tip: Use a heart shaped cookie cutter for a fun Valentine's Day breakfast or dinner.
This recipe is perfect for Biscuits and Gravy.
Enjoy!
