Fluffy Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   In large bowl, stir together all dry ingredients.
2. 2
   Using a pastry blender or fork, cut butter into flour mixture to resemble course crumbs.
3. 3
   Add milk in all at once. Use a fork to stir just until moistened.
4. 4
   Place dough on lightly floured surface. Fold and press dough until dough starts to hold together and form a ball.
5. 5
   Pat dough out with floured hands until dough is about 3/4 inch thick. Use about a 2 inch biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Roll any remaining dough back out to form more biscuits.
6. 6
   Place biscuits, sides touching, on a greased baking sheet or pan and bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes. Makes about 10 biscuits.
