Breakfast biscuits should be made from scratch. I'm no Pillsbury dough boy here, not today, anyway. I reached for the "Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook" and chose a recipe titled 'camp biscuits' to get started.
That's 2 cups flour, 3 3/4 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 6 Tbsp shortening, 3/4 cup milk. Mix together and knead lightly on a floured surface. Roll out to 1/4- 1/2 inch thickness and cutout the dough.
Melt 2-3 Tbsp butter in a large fry pan on low heat and fry the biscuits until brown on one side, flip them and brown the other side. They should be about 1 inch tall by now.
who likes their biscuits big?
