Biscuits

Mom

For chicken and biscuits or strawberry shortcake, and nice to have in the freezer to go with any good hearty stew.

6 C flour
1/2 C sugar, heaping
1/4 C baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 C butter
2 C cold milk

Preheat oven to 400. Measure dry ingredients into a large bowl. Blend in butter with pastry blender until it looks like cornmeal. Add milk until dough holds together. Knead dough 15 times-- no more. Roll out to 1 inch thick. Cut with round 2 1/2-in. cutter (or a drinking glass). Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 15 minutes.
