Biscuits for Two

SUBMITTED BY: Bessie Hulett

"I CREATED this recipe in a larger quantity to enter in the Kentucky State Fair. It won first place! Since biscuits are best fresh out of the oven, I sized my recipe down to yield four - perfect for two. I make them whenever biscuits fit into the menu. -Bessie Hulett, Shively, Kentucky"

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, tossing with a fork until a ball forms.

Bake at 450 degrees F for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with remaining butter. Serve warm.
