Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Cups All Purpose Flour or whole wheat flour
  • 4 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Tsp Salt
  • 3/4 Cup Unsalted butter or shortening
  • 3 Cups Milk

Instructions
 

  • Combined 6 cups of flour in large mixing bowl with 4 Tbsp Baking Powder and 2 Tsp Salt.
  • Mashup using a fork 3/4 of a cup of cold unsalted butter into the same large mixing bowl. Mash the butter into the smallest size piece possible (some recipes read into “pea-size” pieces, although my mashed up butter never looked exactly like that. Just fork it to death 🙂 )
  • Pour in three cups of milk.
  • Mix the ingredients by hand or with a fork in the large mixing bowl.
  • Dump the mixed ingredients onto a gently floured surface and begin to knead the dough. Add extra flour as needed if your dough is still sticky (as mine was in the video).
  • Roll out your dough on the flat surface. If your rolling pin sticks rub additional flour on it as well.
  • Use a proper biscuit cutter or turned over cup to cut your biscuits. I like big biscuits, so I use a wide mouth plastic cup to cut my biscuit circles.
  • Place your biscuits on baking pan. Place them in the oven at 450 for 12-minutes.
  • ENJOY YOUR BISCUITS!
