Biscuits

I got this recipe in grade 8 Home-EC class. I remember coming home after that class and making supper for my family. We had these biscuits and corn chowder (that recipe has been lost, but I think it was basically boiled potatoes with cream of corn soup and milk, and a little bacon and onions).

1 1/2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 butter
2/3 cup milk

Mix dry ingredients together, cut in butter until it is very small. Add milk and mix lightly. Turn out on floured surface and pat out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter or small glass. Bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes.

This should make about a dozen, depending on the size you cut them.
