Light and Fluffy 1-3/4 cups flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup margarine
3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Add milk, stir with a fork until soft dough forms.

Place on a lightly floured surface; knead 20 times or until smooth.  Pat or roll lightly until dough is 1/2 inch in thickness.  Cut with a floured 2- inch cookie cutter to make 16 biscuits, re rolling dough scraps as needed. 

Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown


Tips:

Substitute shortening for butter or margarine

For crustier biscuits roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and increase the baking time to 12 minutes.
