Quick and Easy Homemade Biscuits

2 1/4 c. flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/3 c. butter
1 c. milk
extra flour for rolling the dough out
1-2 Tbsp. butter, melted, for brushing

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Grease a baking sheet. Set aside.

Add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to a large bowl. Mix together.

Using a cheese grater, grate in the butter. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add half the milk and mix. Add the remaining milk and stir again.

Put on a floured surface and knead gently 15-20 times.

Only roll the dough briefly and then cut out biscuits. I used a floured rim of a glass.

Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes.

Brush tops with melted butter as they come out.

Enjoy!

Yield: 8-10 biscuits
