HOW TO MAKE EASY HOMEMADE BISCUITS INGREDIENTS 2 cups (250g) self-rising flour 1 tablespoon sugar, optional 1/3 cup (70g) shortening, such as lard or Crisco 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk (you'll use between 2/3 to 3/4 cup milk (160 to 180 ml)) 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon of salt

STEP 1 Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC).

STEP 2 Prepare a baking sheet. Grease a baking sheet or cookie sheet with shortening or a non-stick spray.

STEP 3 Create a floured surface for kneading the dough. A counter-top with wax paper is perfect; spread a liberal amount of flour over it.

STEP 4 Combine dry ingredients. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if you are using it) in a large bowl and whisk together until blended.

STEP 5 Add shortening. Use a pastry blender (good) or your fingers (better) to cut in your butter, shortening, or margarine, and continue until the mixture looks like course bread crumbs. Do not over-mix! The flakiness you're looking for will elude you if you do.

STEP 6 Add milk. Slowly add the milk and stir it in until the mixture starts to come together into a dough ball.

STEP 7 Rest the dough. Place the dough ball onto your floured surface, and let it rest for about 5 minutes. When ready, knead dough gently about 10 times; flatten out the ball with your palms and fold it back in on itself.

STEP 8 Roll out the dough. Depending on how thick you like your biscuits, roll the dough out to about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick using either a roller or your hands.

STEP 9 Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Dust the biscuit cutter in flour first for best results. Do not twist biscuit cutter when cutting out the biscuits; go down straight and come up straight. It's all right if they don't look perfect.

STEP 10 Place the biscuits onto your prepared baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake them 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

STEP 11 Enjoy! Serve hot with butter, honey, jam, syrup, or gravy.
