Time 30m

Yield 24 biscuits, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup shortening or 1/4 cup lard
6 tablespoons baking powder
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat flat cast iron pan on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot. (To test, sprinkle with a little flour; if it browns in 10 to 15 seconds, the pan is hot enough.).
  • Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, stir flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; with fingertips, rub in shortening or lard until crumbly.
  • Whisk egg with 1 cup of the milk.
  • Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients; pour in the liquid. With wooden spoon, stir to make soft, but not sticky dough, adding more milk as needed.
  • Turn out onto floured board, knead 3 or 4 times. Pat or roll to no more than 1/4 - 1/2 inch.
  • With a sharp knife, cut into small triangles.
  • Place a few at a time on pan; cook, rotating scones occasionally for 5 to 6 minutes or until bottoms are browned.
  • Serve hot.
