Perfect Baking Powder Biscuits

I used to think that the only way to get perfect biscuits was to buy Pillsbury Grands from the store. When I came across this recipe a while back I resolved never to buy store bought biscuits again.  These biscuits are perfectly flaky, bake up nice and high and have the perfect level of sweetness for a biscuit.  Whether you are making biscuits and gravy or eating them with butter and jam like we did this morning, you won't be disappointed.

2 C. Flour
1 T. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1 T. Sugar
1/3 C. Butter
About 1 C. Milk

Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Mix together dry ingredients then cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until crumbly and fine.  Add milk gradually and mix until it forms a soft, moist dough.  You may need a little less than a cup or a little more, just add it until it is the right consistency.  Roll to about 1" thickness on a lightly floured surface.  Cut with a round cookie cutter or the top of a glass.  Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake about 12 minutes or until biscuits are very lightly browned.  Makes about 12 biscuits.
