    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
       1/2           cup  unbleached self-rising flour -- (2 oz)
    1           teaspoon  sugar -- to 3t
    1         tablespoon  chilled butter -- or vegetable shortening 
or lard, to 2T
    2        tablespoons  milk -- or buttermilk, (1 oz)
                          melted butter -- for brushing the tops

TIP:
If you don't have self-rising flour - Self-rising flour is 
traditionally made from a lower-protein wheat, which makes it perfect 
for cakes and biscuits.  But if all you have is all-purpose flour in 
the house you can make a version of self-rising that will work by 
whisking together 1C (4 1/4 oz) of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2t 
baking powder and 1/4t salt.

Preheat oven to 450F.

In a sm bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar.  Cut in the butter 
or other fat until the mixture looks crumbly.  Add the liquid and mix 
just until the dough comes together.  Pat the dough out and cut into 
2 biscuits, or just pat into a rectangle and cut in half.  Brush the 
tops with melted butter and bake for 14-18 min.  Remove from the oven 
and serve warm.
