CHARLIE’S MOTHER’S CLOUD BISCUITS
|
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 TBS sugar
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup butter (1 stick)
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter until they are crumbly. Mix the egg and milk until they are barely incorporated.
Pat or roll out the dough lightly on a floured board to about ½-inch thickness. With a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut the dough into 12 biscuits. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet with space between them and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and fluffy.
NOTE: To use this recipe for shortcake, increase the sugar to two tablespoons and proceed as above. Spread the finished dough evenly in a cake pan. If using a 9-inch pan, bake for 20 minutes; an 8-inch pan, for 25 minutes. When the cake has cooled, cut it into two layers. Fill with strawberries or other fruit of your choice mixed with a bit of sugar to taste. Top with whipped cream and more of the fruit.
