Baking Powder Biscuits

Baking Powder Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 c. flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/3 c. butter
3/4 cup milk (or 1 cup for drop biscuits)

Directions:

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together and cut in the softened butter.  Add the milk and stir just until mixed.  Roll out and cut into biscuits.  Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes.

***As a busy mom, I don't have time to roll and cut out biscuits.  I always make the "drop" version with the additional milk.  This makes the dough the perfect consistency to scoop out with my large scoop onto a baking sheet.  Bake the same amount of time and you have delicious biscuits in a flash!

If you add cheese to the dough and then sprinkle garlic salt on them before baking, these taste just like Red Lobster's biscuits!
