Dinner Biscuits

Gotta love biscuits, they are so quick and easy to make. I've really come to like them since I don't really have to plan in advance when making them.

I've combined two different recipes and decided that I can finally post this after getting it down pretty good.

Make sure you don't over work the mixture. I toss it around only a couple of times until it's all combined and then dust the counter with flour. The dough should be super sticky, just dust it with some flour, too before cutting them out.

I plop it down so it's about 1/2- 2/3 inch high and cut with a medium biscuit cutter, still barely moving it unecessarily.

Biscuits:

2 C. Flour

1 T. baking powder

1. T sugar

1 tsp. Salt

1/2 C. butter & shortening mix

*Whisk together

1 C. Milk mixed with 1 beaten egg

*Stir into dry ingredients and move around with a spatula.

**Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden.
