Grandma’s Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1/2 cup margarine
• 1 cup milk

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Chop the margarine until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
• Gradually stir in the milk, allowing the dough to fold off the side of the bowl.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead 15-20 times. Roll or pat the dough to 1 inch thick.
• Cut the biscuits with a large biscuit cutter or a cup dipped in flour. Repeat until the dough is used up. Discard excess flour and place the biscuits on an ungreased baking tray.
• Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges begin to turn brown.
