Butter Biscuits

This is our signature biscuit recipe for The Biscuit Girls. We made it up from looking at TONS of different biscuit recipes, then getting different ideas and putting together our own. They are perfectly moist and flaky on the inside and crispy on the outside. You literally cannot cut them in half because they will just flake apart! This is definitely our go-to recipe. You have to try it! Recipe 2 cup all-purpose flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening 3/4 cup milk Directions 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. 2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Cut shortening in until mixture has a fine crumb texture. Stir in milk with a fork to make a soft dough. Knead 6 to 8 times, and then roll out to thickness of at least half an inch. Cut into rounds with a cookie or biscuit cutter. Place on cookie sheet. 3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, serve warm.
