I decided to switch my "Recipes Wednesday" to a "Recipe Day" post. Most often, it will come out on Thursdays.
I have a collection of recipes that were made alot when I was growing up. I'd like to start sharing some of them with you, as well as continuing to share other recipes I find. So here's today's recipe- I hope you enjoy!
Piping Hot Biscuits
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk
Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles crumbs. Add milk. Stir with fork just until moistened. Roll out and cut with biscuit cutter (or drinking glass turned upside-down). Place on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Enjoy!
What are some of your favorite recipes from your childhood?
I have never heard of cream tartar in biscuits ! I will have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThey were like the only biscuits I remember as a kid. ;)
DeleteI am horrible, with all the baking I do, I never make my own biscuits. Pillsbury took over my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. I think I'll start making my own from now on.
I hope you enjoy :)
DeleteJust finished making these, and they turned out so great! We cut them with our mickey mouse cookies cutters, and the kids are ecstatic about it!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Thanks for letting me know! Glad you and your kids enjoyed them. :)
