The trick to making good biscuits is handling the dough as little as possible.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 2/3 cup milk

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 400º.

2. In a big bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

3. Using your fingers, work in 5 tablespoons of butter. Then stir in 2/3 cup of milk.

4. Turn the biscuit dough onto a floured surface and roll it out to about a 1/2-inch thickness.

5. Use a cookie cutter to shape the biscuits.

6. Place them on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Makes about 10 biscuits.
