#1977 - Quick Homemade Garlic Biscuits

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups sifted flour (measure before sifting)
2 tsp. baking powder (sifted)
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 stick softened butter
garlic powder for sprinkling
extra flour for sprinkling
a little melted butter

Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then add the salt--stir until mixed. Add the softened butter and milk--mix with your hands until a dough ball forms. Sprinkle flour on your counter, place the dough ball on the flour, and sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough. Knead the dough slightly, then roll it out using a rolling pin to about 1/8" to 1/4" thick. Use the top side of a drinking glass to cut biscuits from the dough, then place them on greased cookie sheets. Use a pastry brush to brush a little melted butter on top of each biscuit, then sprinkle a little garlic powder on top of each biscuit. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown (if you rolled the biscuit dough thin, they will get done faster).
