Baking Powder Biscuits

Plump, fluffy biscuits are great anytime. Enjoy them with butter and
jam or as part of a breakfast sandwich.

Servings: 12 biscuits

Ingredients:
4 cups (480 g) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp (25 mL) baking powder
3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt
1 cup (240 g) butter, cubed
2 cups (500 mL) milk

Preparation:
In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Using
pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until coarse crumbs. Pour
1-3/4 cups (425 mL) of the milk over top, stirring with fork to form
ragged dough.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands,
knead gently until dough comes together. Pat or roll into 3/4-inch
(2 cm) thickness. Using 3-1/4-inch (8.5 cm) floured cutter, cut out
rounds. Place on ungreased rimless baking sheet. Gather up scraps and
repat dough; cut out more rounds, pressing remaining scraps into final
biscuit.

Brush tops with remaining milk. Bake in centre of 375°F (190°C) oven
for about 30 minutes or until golden. Let cool on pan on racks.

(Make-ahead: Wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze in airtight
container for up to 2 weeks; thaw and reheat in 350°F/180°C oven for
10 minutes.)
