If you are looking for a soft, light and delicious biscuit recipe, this one is for you! These bake up so light and tender every single time you make them. Every time I make them the boys (my hubby and 2 sons) run to get them and literally within minutes they are all gone so I always make 2 batches so we have some for our evening meal too.
Soft & Light Homemade Biscuits
1 1/2 c. flour
2/3 c. whole milk
1/3 c. pre-creamed shortening
1 T. baking powder
1 T. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Put all your ingredients into a large bowl and stir just until a wet dough forms. Do not overmix because overmixing causes your biscuits to be tough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead exactly 6 times (no more and no less).
Roll out the dough to 1/2" thickness and using a biscuit cutter cut out your biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto a cookie sheet, leaving about an inch in between each biscuit.
Bake for 11 minutes. Makes 8 biscuits.
I love to eat these biscuits for breakfast with some of my Cherry Amaretto Jelly or Corn Cob Jelly!
