How To Make easy homemade biscuits

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

Step 2

Cut in the shortening or butter to resemble coarse crumbs. Add half the milk and mix; then add remaining milk and thoroughly mix together.
Step 3

Place on a floured surface and knead gently 15-20 times. Pat out flat and cut out biscuits.
Step 4

Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 425º oven for 13-15 minutes. Brush tops with butter as they come out of the oven.
