Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose, unbleached flour
• 1 Tablespoon Hain Featherweight Sodium Free baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt-free spice blend such as Mrs. Dashs Table Blend
• ⅓ cup shortening (I used Land OLakes butter with canola oil)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup low fat milk

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients, stirring to mix well.
• Cut in the shortening, using two knives or forks or a pastry blender, cutting up the pieces of shortening into the flour until they are pea-sized.
• Gradually stir in milk and mix until the dough begins to form a ball.
• Scoop the dough ball onto your floured surface, dust with just enough flour to make the surface less sticky.
• With floured hands, gently knead the dough being careful not to overwork the dough.* Then, press the dough out into a rough circle about 1 inch thick.
• Cut out circles with a biscuit or cookie cutter about 2-1/2 to 3 inches in diameter. I used a glass tumbler, like my mom used to.
• Transfer the biscuit rounds to a greased cookie sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned.
