Ingredients

Serves : 12
  • 2 flour
  • 4 baking powder
  • 1⁄2 salt
  • 1 sugar
  • 1⁄2 butter
  • 1 water

Directions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut butter into the flour mixture until it resembles course crumbs.
  • Add water and stir gently, taking care not to overmix, which will toughen the biscuts. The dough will be quite sticky. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and quickly knead 5 or 6 times.
  • Roll or pat out dough to approximately 1-inch thickness. Cut out using a floured round biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking pan and bake in a preaheated 375F oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
