Angel Biscuits

This is the first recipe in my new ‘The Secret Ingredient Series’! As you might know, my book, The Secret Ingredient: Recipes for Success in Business and in Life has a sweet or savory recipe at the end of every chapter. One of my favorite recipes in the book is Angel Biscuits. It’s my go-to biscuit recipe. These biscuits are soft, fluffy, buttery, with a little hint of sweetness…absolute heaven! I love to serve them with butter and blackberry jam and a cup of tea. It’s so easy to gobble up three of them! Check out the video tutorial at the button below where I show you how to make them step-by-step!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter flavor crisco (or just regular butter, if you prefer)

3/4 cup of milk

Steps:

Heat the oven to 425F.

Grease a baking sheet pan. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the Crisco into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until fine crumbs form.

Stir in the milk and blend until well combined.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly, then roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick.

Cut with a biscuit cutter. (Yields 10 to 15 biscuits, depending on how big your biscuit cutter is.)

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking pan. Make sure they are not touching.

Bake for 9-10 minutes, until slightly brown on top. Then enjoy!
