Before we attended a wedding on Sat, Lily and I had fun making homemade biscuits.
They were so scrumptious with homemade blackberry jam (a gift) and butter.

Baking Powder Biscuits:

2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons butter/shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk

*Don't use pastry cutter. Use your hands. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Mix till moist, fold gently.

Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt and sift again. Cut in shortening/butter. (rub butter into flour) Add milk gradually, stirring until soft dough is formed. Turn out on slightly floured board and lightly knead for 30 seconds, enough to shape. Roll 1/2 inch thick with 2 inch, floured biscuit cutter. Bake 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Makes 12 biscuits.
