Flaky and delicious!
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose Flour Plus Extra For Sprinkling On Your Work Surface
- 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 6 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 cup Shortening
- 2 cups Whole Milk
Preparation
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut the shortening into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Cut shortening into flour until the mixture resembles small peas. I use a pastry cutter but you can use your hands or two knives. Stir in milk until just moistened.
Turn out the dough onto a well floured board. Sprinkle flour on the top and fold dough over onto itself 3 or 4 times. This creates layers that are so delightful! Pat dough out until it is about 1 inch in thickness. Cut out the dough into your desired shapes and place biscuits on a nonstick baking sheet.
Place into the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until your desired brownness. So delicious with sausage gravy!
