Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup 2% milk
1 large egg -- lightly beaten
Homemade biscuits add a warm and comforting touch to any meal. My
grandmother makes these tender biscuits to go with her seafood chowder.
Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
Serving: 1 biscuit
Preheat oven to 450F. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and
salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add
milk; stir just until moistened.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat
dough into a 10x4" rectangle. Cut rectangle lengthwise in half; cut
crosswise to make 10 squares.
Place 1" apart on an ungreased baking sheet; brush tops with egg.
Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Review: These were a delicious, flaky biscuit. The only change I made
was to reduce the salt to 3/4 of a teaspoon. I will definitely make them again.
Review: Very nice! I'm going to try to make them with butter next
time. I might also cut back on the salt as I found it just a tad too salty.
Review: These are so quick and easy why would you use store bought???
Nice light texture and crispy on outside. They went well with my
homemade rhubarb jam.
