1. yep - here is what I do

1 1/2 cups of flour
tablespoon of baking powder
dash of salt
1/2 stick of butter

mix these

then add 1/2 cup of milk

Do not overwork the dough

bake 12-13 minutes or so at 450


Makes a little over 3 biscuits. And much better than bisquick
I cut down the original due to making these for only 2 of us. And 1 1/2 of these is just about right on the weekend.

2. Cream Biscuits

If you can get White Lily flour this makes an incredibly light biscuit but you won't be disappointed if you use any all purpose flour.

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, plus additional for brushing
3 inch round cutter

Preheat oven to 425degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add cream and stir until dough forms. Gather dough and gently knead 6 times on lightly floured surface.

Pat dough into 10 inch round (1/2 inch thick). Cut out as many rounds as possible and invert rounds onto baking sheet. Gather scraps, pat out and cut remaining.

Brush tops with cream and bake until pale golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
