I figure cheebs will be all over this one ;)


I make biscuits from scratch more often than is healthy (yet i have lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks, go figure), and i figured i would share this recipe since it come sout AWESOME.

2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder ( iuse half baking soda, half cream of tartar, since that is basically what baking powder is)
6 tablespoons cold butter (cut into small pieces)
1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher is best)

3/4 cup half and half

mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the butter pieces and shake to cover the butter in flour. use a pastry cutter, or if you dont have one (and you are brave), chop the shit out of it with a couple of butter knives. you want the butter covered in flour and cut into mostly pieces the size of peas.

pour in the half and half, and gently mix it in with a spatula until it is thoroughly mixed in. the dough should be a little dry with some of it not really holding together. toss a little more flour in if you need to.

spread a thin layer of flour on a dry flat surface, and put the dough on it. coat your hands in flour (helps if you have latex gloves and cover them with flour), knead a few times, 10 or so (not too much).

punch flat, or use a rolling pin, and use a round cutter to make the biscuits.

Bake in an oven preheated to 425 farenheit for 10 minutes.


Most recipes will tell you to let them cool, but i say screw that. eat them hot with butter. Smile as your arteries clog.
