Ron’s Perfect Biscuits

My mother’s biscuit recipe is on this blog, Doris’ Biscuits, but this is my modified version   I have trouble getting consistent biscuits her way   These are no fail   

2 1/2 cup White Lilly self rising flour 

1 stick butter frozen then grated

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup cold milk or buttermilk

Put flour and baking powder in bowl and mix together. Grate frozen butter over flour

Stir grated butter into flour. Add milk and stir very little.   Flour a board heavily and put mixture out on flour. With Floured hands pat dough into a small rectangle.  Fold over itself three times for flaky layers.  Pat out to height of biscuit cutter.  Cut all biscuits.  Reform dough scraps and cut rest of biscuits.  Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 450 degrees in a skillet or on a heavy baking sheet pan.
