0051. homemade biscuits

I'm a Southern girl at heart, and I desperately love me some biscuits. Put some gravy on them and I'm in heaven. Unfortunately, my diet isn't super happy about them, so they're a special treat at my house. Paula Deen's recipe is delish.

Servings: about 3 dozen biscuits
Cook Time: 12 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons butter, cubed
3/4 cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Cut butter into mixture until it begins to look like cornmeal.

Make a well with flour mixture and slowly add milk into the middle. Knead dough with your fingers and add milk when necessary. Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to desired thickness. Cut with small biscuit cutter.

Butter bottom of skillet and place biscuits in pan. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
