Here is a basic recipe for biscuits, any type of herbs, cheese, or dried food can be added. When we made this in school, we added cheddar cheese, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Simply mix in the additions with the rest of the dry ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1lb 4 oz All Purpose Flour
- 1/3 oz salt
- 1 oz sugar
- 1.25 oz baking powder
- 7 oz butter
- 13 oz milk
Directions:
Sift the dry ingredients into bowl and cut in fat until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Combine all the liquid ingredients in a separate bowl and add to dry ingredients all at once while stirring.
Mix just until everything is moistened and forms a soft dough. Move to counter top and knead lightly for about 30 seconds.
Roll out about 1/2 – 3/4 inch thick and cut out shapes or make rounded balls. Bake at 375 until done.
This yields 1lb 10 oz of dough.
