½ TSP SALT
2 TBSP SUGAR
½ CUP BUTTER (COLD)
¾ CUP COLD MILK
Directions:
Directions:
In a bowl; mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut your COLD butter into pieces, trying to keep your hand off of the butter as much as possible.
Add the butter to your dry mixture and work it in until the butter is evenly distributed.
Slowly add your COLD milk and fold in just until a large clump forms.
On a floured surface, dump your dough and gently press/knead it into a square.
Divide the square into 4 pieces. To create the layers, stack the 4 pieces and press them into a square again. Divide, stack, and press 1 more time.
Pat your dough into a 1-inch thick square and cut with a biscuit cutter or the mouth of a jar/cup.
Place the biscuits into a preheated skillet. (You can also use a greased baking pan but make sure the biscuits are close together so that they will rise up, not out)
Bake at 450º F for 14-16 minutes.
