October 31st: biscuits

This is my Nana's recipe. It is delicious.


Biscuits


2 cups flour
4 tsps baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
salt*
1/2 cup unsalted butter**
1 egg
2/3 cup milk


Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk together dry ingredients. Cut in butter. Whisk egg into milk, then add mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until it just comes together. Turn out on floured surface and knead about 20 times. Roll out to 1/2-1 inch. Cut with biscuit cutter. Bake until just beginning to turn golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.


*amount not given; 1/2 tsp?
**original recipe calls for shortening; I have modified it


For a warm-up post-trick or treating supper: biscuits with Mexican Chicken Soup.

  4. Correct! Mine are not as good as Nana's, and I don't know why.
