Biscuits for Two

This is an easy biscuits recipe and takes no time to prepare. It is wonderful as is, but adding cheese, bacon or sausages gives these biscuits an interesting twist.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tbs butter cut into cubes
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions:
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder

. Stir in butter and mix until the mixture looks like cornmeal.



 Make a well in the center of the flour.

Pour milk slowly into the center and little by little draw flour towards the milk until flour comes together. Knead dough a few times. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a desired thickness of about 2 inches.

Use a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 6 small biscuits.

Place onto greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven set to 400° for 15 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.




Serve with scrambled eggs.

Cheese biscuits: Add 1/2 cup of parmesan or cheddar to flour right after adding the milk.
Bacon biscuits: Cook bacon until crispy. Crumble crispy bacon. Add 1/2 cup of crumbled bacon to kneaded dough.
Sausages biscuits: Remove the casing from the sausage. Cook meat until golden brown. Add 1/2 cup of cooked meat to kneaded dough.
