My grandmother used to make this recipe every Saturday with home baked beans. She would use tenderfake lard. I have changed the lard to butter or Margarine, hence the name buttery biscuit.

SERVES 6 -8 , 15 biscuits (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine (I use margarine)
1 egg
1 cup milk

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2
With a knife or pastry cutter cut in, flour, baking powder, cream of tartar,.
3
salt, sugar and margarine. Cut in until it becomes course and crumbly.
4
Whip together milk and egg with a fork.
5
Mix with the flour mixture until it forms a soft dough.Add flour if the dough is too sticky.
6
Important: DO NOT OVER MIX. This will made your biscuit hard if you over mix.
7
Roll out dough with a rolling pin to about 11/2 to 2 inch thickness.
8
I use an empty small can of peas opened at both ends (to let the air though) to cut out the biscuits.
9
Place biscuits on a cookie sheet.
10
Place cookie sheet in your preheated oven on the very top rack.
11
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
12
Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.

I have made a few other biscuit recipes from this site. This is the best. It is quick and easy and pretty much idiot proof!

I had a craving to make breakfast for dinner tonight and didn't have any biscuts on hand. I found this recipe and decided to give them a try. They turned out fabulous. Very easy and taste great. I had never even made homemade biscuits before! I will definitely make them again!

Ok so I made them and it was soo much easier than I was expecting, they even taste good (this was my first bread-ish venture) they are a lot like the biscuits from cracker barrel, but a little less buttery. My only qualm is that I can't figure out how to get 15 biscuits that are 1 1/2 inch thick, mine are all much smaller as a result and I still only got 12 out of the batch. Good recipe though.
