Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 Teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup milk
The dough can also be prepared several hours, and up to a day ahead
of time. To do so, turn dough out onto aluminum foil that has been
either floured, lightly buttered or lightly sprayed with cooking
spray. Roll up foil until it is sealed, and refrigerate. Don't be
surprised if your biscuits rise even higher because the baking powder
has had more time to act in the dough. You may have to make a few
batches before you get desired results: desired results equals huge
mongo biscuits.
This recipe will produce the biggest biscuits in history.
Preheat oven to 425F (220C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and
sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or
roll dough out to 1" thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice
glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the
excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
