Grandma's Biscuits

This simple but great recipe for biscuits has been passed along to me, I have tried others, but always come back to this one. An eggless recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 4 tsps. baking powder
  • 3 Tbsp. (1/4 cup) cold margarine
  • 1 cup cold milk

Directions:

Sift dry ingredients together. Add margarine and blend into the dry ingredients. Add cold milk. Stir with a fork, leave some lumps.

Put out onto a floured board, shape into a roundish form, knead very slightly 4 or 5 times. Roll out (I pat down dough with the rolling pin) to 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with small cutter.

Grease 9 inch square pan. (I spray Pam cooking spray on the pan.) Cook in a preheated oven of 425 degrees F. for 15-18 minutes.

Hint - You can top each biscuit with grated cheddar cheese if desired, see my latest batch pictured.

Servings: 10-12 biscuits
Prep Time: 10 mins. Minutes
Cooking Time: 15-18 Minutes

Source: This recipe was passed to me by my mother. Served with baked beans or homemade soup - soooo good.

We used this recipe with King Arthur gluten free flour & vegan butter and it made the best topping for our pot pie.

Baking Powder Biscuits are a staple at my house, and wonderfully versatile. Instead of butter (my mother's recipe) or margarine and milk however, I use the same quantity of no-fat plain greek yogurt and hot water (same volume as milk). The trick is in minimal handling to get a nice light, and flaky biscuit.

Options include
substituting a bit of cornmeal for flour,
adding leftover salmon or chopped vegetables,
another time try it with a few berries,
different seasonings can be fun to try too.

I'll confess to being lazy in the kitchen sometimes. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a silicone matt- or parchment paper-lined baking sheet instead of rolling and cutting.

Leftovers are lovely when sliced, toasted and served with bruschetta.
