Monster Biscuits


Monster Biscuits: A simple yet Scrumptious Recipe!

Tools:
1 Large Bowl
Baking Sheet(s)
Measuring Cups (1, 1/4)
Measuring spoons (1, ½)
1 Fork
1 Knife
Parchment paper (optional)


Ingredients:
6 cups flour
7 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 cup shortening or butter
2 ¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon salt


Procedure:
1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter.

2. Mix the Dry ingredients. (Flour, Baking Powder, Salt)
3. Cut in the Shortening or butter with the fork and knife until the mixture resembles coarse corn meal.
4. Add the milk and blend with fork until the dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
5.Form large discs of dough about the size of the palm of your hand and space evenly onto the prepared Baking sheet 6. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges and tips of the Biscuit. Enjoy!
Notes:

I like to put butter and jam on mine and enjoy with a nice cup of tea.

For smaller biscuits simply put smaller amounts of dough on the pan but note that they will cook faster. You may also divide the ingredients by three to make a smaller batch.

Also for neater more uniformed biscuits you may roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out with a biscuit cutter.
