Ordinary Biscuits

This is the recipe I use for the chicken and biscuits. Second-day biscuits are really good re-heated in the oven and then with butter and jam inside. They taste like KFC biscuits.

Ingredients:
2 cup flour
½ tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp cream of tarter
½ cup shortening (113 grams butter)
2/3 cup milk

Directions:
Sift together dry ingredients; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk all at once; stir only until dough follows fork around bowl. Turn out on lightly floured surface. Knead gently ½ minutes. Pat or roll out ½ inch thick; cut with lip of a floured cup. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 10-12 minutes @ 450. Makes 16.
