MOM'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar into a med. mixing bowl. Stir slightly with fork.
• Add shortening and mix with pastry cutter, or I rub thru my hands, until shortening and flour mixture resemble small peas.
• Add just enough water to form a dough. To much water will make a tough biscuit.
• Lay the biscuit dough out on a floured surface. you can roll the dough to 3/4 inch or I just pat it out to the desired thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter. Place on a heavily greased baking sheet.
• Let Biscuits sit for 20 to 30 minutes before baking in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt into a bowl. Use a pastry cutter to chop vegetable shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits have risen and are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
