Baking Powder Biscuit I Recipe ingredients

• 2 cups bread flour
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lard
• 1 cup milk and water in equal parts
• 1 tablespoon butter

To prepare this Baking Powder Biscuit I Recipe, first mix dry ingredients, and sift twice.

Work in butter and lard with tips of fingers; add gradually the liquid, mixing with knife to a soft dough. It is impossible to determine the exact amount of liquid, owing to differences in flour. Toss on a floured board, pat and roll lightly to one-half inch in thickness. Shape with a biscuit-cutter. Place on buttered pan, and bake in hot oven twelve to fifteen minutes. If baked in too slow an oven, the gas will escape before it has done its work.
