Drop Biscuits image

From 1942 Good Housekeeping Cook Book with directions to suit myself. Quick and easy. The only variation I would consider would be to add 1 cup grated cheese in step 4.

Time 30m

Yield 12 biscuits, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 -7 tablespoons shortening
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F Grease muffin pan or cookie sheet.
  • I skip sifting but I fluff my flour before I measure.
  • Mix dry ingredients.
  • "Cut in" shortening. If you don't have a pastry blender, this means using 2 knives and, with a scissor motion, cut across the shortening repeatedly until the mixture is a very fine crumble.
  • Add milk.
  • Stir lightly, just enough to blend ingredients, or biscuits will be tough. Dough will be sticky and cling to fork.
  • Fill greased muffin pan 2/3 full or drop 1" apart on greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 450°F 12-15 minutes.
