JAMES BEARD'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS
I got this recipe from "Beard on Bread" many, many years ago. I always make them with chopped herbs and/or grated Parmesan to give them a little extra kick. They're wonderful!

Steps:
- Sift flour into mixing bowl with baking powder and salt.
- Using fingers, two knives, or a heavy fork, blend butter and flour into very fine particles. (Don't beat any longer than you absolutely must!).
- Add milk and stir just enough to ake particles cling together -- it will be a very soft dough.
- (You may have to add up to another 1/4 cup of milk, for a total of 1 cup of milk in the biscuit dough.) Turn on to floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
- Drop dough by large spoonfuls on to a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray.
- Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.
JAMES BEARD'S MAMA'S BISCUITS
These easy-to-make biscuits are "out of this world" according to famed and award-winning chef James Beard. Perhaps he liked them so much because he grew up eating them - they are a specialty of his mother!
