Easy Homemade Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup shortening
• 0.75 cup cold milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and gather all of your ingredients.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the shortening using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Pour the milk into the flour mixture while stirring with a fork. Mix until the dough is soft, moist, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, about 5 to 7 times.
5. Roll the dough out to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits with a floured cookie cutter. Press together any unused dough and repeat the rolling and cutting process.
6. Place the biscuits on ungreased baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 10 minutes.
7. Serve and enjoy your fresh, homemade biscuits!
