The ingredients for Easy Scratch Biscuits are:

*Flour, white, 2 cup (remove)
Cream of tartar, .5 tsp
Baking Powder, 3 tsp
Salt, .25 tsp
Granulated Sugar, 2 tsp
Butter, unsalted, .5 cup
Milk, nonfat (skim milk), .67 cup

Here is how you make Easy Scratch Biscuits:

Combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter until it turns into course crumbles. Make a well. Add milk. The dough will not be wet, but there shouldn't be any loose flour in the bowl. If there is, add milk 1 tbsp at a time. (No more -- it probably only needs 1.) Roll dough onto lightly floured surface to about 1/2" thick. Cut with floured biscuit cutter or whatever's round and handy. Or use cookie cutters to make cute shapes -- but nothing too intricate. Hearts work well. Candy canes don't. Place on ungreased baking sheet in 425 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. They won't get very dark. Exact cooking time depends upon size and thickness. Recipes Notes: The trick to biscuits it not to overwork the dough. You can take your scraps and reroll to get another few biscuits, but you may notice a difference between those and the ones cut from the first roll-out. I'm not lying when I call these simple, even though there is a learning curve. Once you get the hang of them, you can throw these together in 10 minutes and you'll never buy another package of refrigerated biscuits again.Serving Size: 1 biscuitNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NOT_A_WITCH1.
