When i was making these biscuits this morning. I didn’t think that i was going to write a blog post about them.
All i wanted was to use up the gravy that i made the day before.
My impression of biscuits was never fantastic. Gone were the days where I would nibble on a piece of tasteless, unsavoury Popeye’s biscuits.
In addition to that, biscuits were never photogenic.
Biscuits doused in pale, white-ish sauce were even less impressive.
However, i decided to weather all the negativity. Because it is of utmost importance that i were to journal this recipe.
The recipe that had the power to erase all the bad judgement i passed on all the biscuits that i ecountered before.
I’m sorry Biscuits, I’ve been harsh on you.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1/3 cup shortening ( I used butter)
- 1 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
