How to Make THE BEST Biscuits!

Make your own biscuits for a hearty breakfast.

Canned biscuits come in a variety of brands and specialties, such as those that have more of a buttery flavor and some that are particularly flaky. While they can be quite tasty, canned biscuits don't offer that one thing you can: homemade freshness.

Things You'll Need

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup margarine
• 3/4 cup milk
• Rolling pin
• Baking sheet
• Bowl

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Put the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix.

3. Add the margarine with a fork, two knives, or a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. The margarine should be straight from the fridge and still cool.

4. Add the milk. Mix enough to wet the ingredients and create dough.

5. Roll out the dough on a flour-dusted surface with the rolling pin until its approximately a half-inch thick. Fold the dough in half. Lightly roll out the dough until it is almost an inch thick. Cut out the biscuits with a glass or cookie cutter. Roll out the remaining dough and repeat.

6. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.

Tips & Warnings

• You'll get better biscuits if you use a cold stainless steel bowl.

• Don't over-mix the butter into the flour mixture.
