Grandmas Baking Powder Biscuits

This is my grandmother’s biscuit recipe. It is my all-time favorite and has a really good flavor to it. Be sure not to roll out too thin, you want high biscuits! I usually just pat out the dough to the desired thickness, usually 1/2 inch.

Step: 1

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step: 2

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt into a bowl. Use a pastry cutter to chop vegetable shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl and slowly add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring as you pour, until dough is moistened and well-mixed. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Step: 3

Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits have risen and are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Eating healthy breakfast to start the day had become a fabulous habit. It’s a great way to start my 24 hours off healthfully. The sugar hit from the fruit wakes me up and gives me power to take on the morning. Sugar is more vilified as the root of all disease, but sweetness is also loaded with fibre, which is best for your stomach system and helps keep you feel full all day , and less likely grab a side food out of the street food before lunchtime.

Make fruit a morning habit is easy . Simply put the sweetness in your refrigerator next to the milk or on the table next to your cereal pan , or beside your coffee maker or tea kettle — somewhere where you’ll find it. Before you eating the rest of your food , eat your fruit. If you’re not normally a breakfast person.
