- 1 to 4 tbsp of sugar (to taste)

- 4 to 6 tbsp of butter or shortening

-1 cup of milk

1) Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Farenheit.

2) Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and butter until the mixture resembles a bread crumb consistancy.

3) Add milk while mixing quickly and gently until you have a soft dough.

4) On a clean flat surface area, sprinkle some flour and then place dough on top. Sprinkle a little more flour on top of dough and then kneed for about 3-5 minutes.

5) Roll out dough into a rectangle about 3/4" thick. Dust a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a cup if you dont have a biscuit cutter with flour and start cutting out your biscuits and placing them on greased pan.
