Southwestern Biscuits
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add and cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or two knives until mixture has the consistency of coarse crumbs.
- Add remaining ingredients, adding more milk, if necessary, so dough is pliable but is still wet.
- Turn dough onto a heavily floured surface and knead it lightly (8 to 10 times).
- Do not overwork dough.
- Roll dough to even thickness of 3/4 to 1-inch and cut out biscuits with a 2-inch round cutter (size of juice can), dipping cutter between cutting each biscuit so they won't stick.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake in center of oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately or bake up to 2 hours in advance and reheat 5 minutes at 300°.
- Makes 12 to 14 biscuits.
