Biscuit recipe. So good.
I made biscuits last night to go along with a stew. They were so flaky and delicious, I had to share the recipe with everyone:
1.5 C all purpose flour
2 t sugar
.25 t salt
2 t baking powder
.25 cream of tartar
5 T butter
1/2 C milk
1 T grated Parmesan cheese
Mix dry ingredients, cut butter into mixture, stir in milk and cheese. Lightly knead until just formed into a ball. Roll out and cut into 4 biscuits and arrange them on a cookie sheet. Chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Bake for 10 minutes at 450.
They didn't have super height, but I forgive them.

Thank you. After a recent thread on biscuits, I decided I would like to give them a try - it is good to have a recipe that works!

Oh my god, I love biscuits. When my grandparents were first married, that's all they ate. That doesn't sound bad to me!

"didn't have super height"- I get disappointing lift when I roll my dough out too thin. I like tall biscuits, even if that means getting just 9 or 10 from a recipe that should make 12. Long live biscuits!

next time try throwing some fresh parsley and thyme(or whatever) in those babies!

about height:
sorry to be a negative Nellie, but maybe your powder wasn't as fresh as it could have been.
also, double-acting powder may help if you don't have the lightest touch rolling out your dough.
third, how do you cut your biscuits? if you twist, the layers pinch together and they can't rise. Ditto if your cutter is dull.
Hope this helps. biscuits are truly serious eats. enjoy!

Oh my, how can anyone go wrong with biscuits!
I haven't made biscuits in forever, and love making extra so I can have biscuits, butter, and honey for breakfast the next morning with my coffee!
I definitely think it's time, and thank you for this. I've gotta get on making some of these biscuits, and I also need to get going on making some cornbread, too....but that's another thread, huh? ;o)
You've made all kinds of things come to mind with your recipe...
My Mom used to make boiled chicken and gravy to go on biscuits, and that was so good, that we didn't even need/want potatoes!
Ok, that's it, I've talked myself into it! :o)
