Maiden Mothers Bisquits

INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened at room temperature and sliced)
3/4-1 cup milk

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

Turn out onto a floured surface, mixing until all of the dried portion has mixed together nicely. Pat into a circle about an inch high and cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
You really need to watch them though, the worst thing you can do is walk away from the oven when you are baking biscuits, stay with them and when the edges begin to brown pull them out or you'll find yourself with crispy hard bottoms and nice soft centers.
