Ever since before we had kids, these biscuits have been a Saturday morning favorite at our house. My husband is actually the one that makes them and he has gotten really good at it. The recipe comes from Taste of Home magazine, Feb/March 2005. It was an Old -Fashioned Chicken Pot Pie recipe I made and the biscuits on top were so good we decided to make them by themselves. I have sweet memories of us in our apartment in Louisville (on-campus housing at Southern Seminary) enjoying these together on Saturday mornings. Now we have three kids to share them with. This is how he makes them.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup cold butter
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar.
2. Cut in the butter until mixture looks like crumbs.
3. Stir in milk just until moistened.
4. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.
5. Roll out to 1/2 in. thickness; cut with a floured 2 1/2 in. biscuit cutter.
6. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
(You can bake these on a cookie sheet, but we now bake them in an iron skillet.)
Makes 6-8 biscuits.
