Quick breads or yeast breads need to always have the ingredients measured precisely. Use a knife to level the flour, salt or baking powder since baking is relying on the chemistry. When you have an ingredient 'heaping' you have changed the chemistry!

Biscuits
When you use this recipe for homemade Biscuits, you will make an ordinary meal special.
2 cups flour
1 tbls baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup lard or shortening
2/3 cup milk
Preheat oven to 450. In a mixing bowl mix up the dry ingredients of flour, salt and baking powder with a fork. Cut in lard or shortening until like meal or crumbs. Make a hollowed out area in the flour mixture and stir in enough milk to make a soft dough take will leave the side of the bowl and stick to your fork.
Then turn onto a lightly floured area and begin to knead by folding dough in half and pressing with the heel of your hands and folding again about a dozen times. Then roll dough out in a circle. For taller biscuits then roll dough ½’’ thick and use a 2’’ round cutter, for thin crusty biscuits roll ¼’’ and use a 3’’ cutter. Put into a greased 9’’ cake pan. Bake for about 10 - 12 minutes.
*For variety try garlic cheese drop biscuits: Add ½ shredded cheddar cheese and increase milk to 1 cup, drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheet instead of kneading and rolling out dough. Smooth off the pointy tops with the back of the spoon. After baking brush top of biscuits with a mixture of 3 tbls melted butter and 1 tsp crushed garlic.
