Question

Plz serious answers..thx

Answer 1

1/3 c. shortening
1 3/4 c. all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
About 3/4 c. milk
Cut shortening into flour, baking powder and salt with pastry blender (a fork or mixing spatula works just fine) until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in just enough milk so dough leaves side of bowl and rounds up into a ball. Too much milk makes dough sticky, not enough makes biscuits dry.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 inch biscuit cutter. Arrange 6 biscuits with sides almost touching in circle on 10 inch microwavable plate. Microwave uncovered on high (100%) 1 minute; rotate plate 1/2 turn. Microwave until no longer doughy, 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand 1 minute; remove to rack. Repeat with remaining biscuits. 1 dozen biscuits.

-----------------
As always, using cake flour instead of AP flour will make your biscuits rise better. Using cold liquids and frozen mixing bowls an utensils will help, too. Try not to use your hands too much when kneading. The heat from your hands will toughen the dough.
