Flaky Biscuits

Bread is my weakness. In a low carb world, all it takes is the smell of bread to make me fold. Needless to say... I made biscuits today.


Here is the recipe.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt (1/2 tsp)
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/3 cup shortening (3/4 stk butter)
1 cup milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Turn out onto a floured surface.
Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick, fold, pat again (I flatten and pat twice). Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
Top with butter or honey. Enjoy!
