My grandma was not a great cook: She left that to my grandpa. However, she made simply great biscuits. Sadly, this isn’t her recipe but it may as well be. Light, flaky, delicious biscuits. I love just plain old biscuits but for a special treat grandma would add chopped dates, raisins, chopped nuts or candied fruit to the batter. Read more Your kids will love these. See less

How to make it
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 F. (220 C.). Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into flour in the mixing bowl using a fork or a pastry cutter.
- 2. Add milk and stir with a fork until it forms a rough ball.
- 3. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and pat it down into a rough rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold it over and gently pat it down again. Repeat. Cover the dough loosely with a kitchen towel and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
- 4. Gently pat out the dough some more, so that the rectangle is roughly 10 inches by 6 inches. Cut dough into biscuits using a floured glass or biscuit cutter. DO NOT twist cutter when cutting; this crimps the edges of the biscuit and impedes its rise.
- 5. Place biscuits on a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
