It has gotten to the point where I just print out a copy of this recipe any time I bring these biscuits somewhere; they are that good! They are super easy to make, and the endless variations ensure no one ever tires of them. This recipe makes 12 -13 biscuits, so I usually double the batch, or make one raisin and one chocolate chip.
-2 c flour
-4 tsp baking powder
-1/2 c white sugar
-3/4 tsp salt
-1/2 c margarine or butter
-1 egg
-3/4 c milk, scant (explanation to follow!)
-1/2 c raisins
1. Sift dry ingredients together, cut in margarine with pastry blender.
2. Add raisins (for variety, instead of raisins, add cranberries, or
blueberries, or chocolate chips!)
3. In a 3/4 c measuring cup, beat the egg, then add enough milk to fill to
top of the cup. (you don't actually need a full 3/4 cup of milk; hence
"scant")
4. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients, stir with a fork to make a soft
dough.
5. Pat dough out onto floured surface, cut into rounds. Bake on an
ungreased cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees.
These are great to make when unexpected company drops in for coffee!
