Things I Love

Today for lunch I decided to make spaghetti. I decided to make biscuits to go with it. I LOVE baking powder biscuits. LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM!!!!! So I got all the ingredients for it and called my 2 little helpers in.

They had fun greasing the pan,

and cutting out the biscuits.

They anxiously awaited the arrival of the biscuits from the oven.

When we sat down to eat, the kids all grabbed a biscuit and Victoria whole heartily said that these were the best biscuits ever.

Baking Powder Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup skim milk

Directions
Preheat the oven to 450.

Grease a baking pan

Put the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the shortening and mix together.

Add the milk all at once and stir to moisten all the flour and shortening. Dust a surface with flour, turn the dough onto the surface and knead the dough ten times.

Pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a two-inch cookie cutter and place on the prepared pan with a little space between the biscuits.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.
