Southern-Style Drop Biscuits
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup milk
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
2
Sift all dry ingredients, including flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt, into a large bowl. Utilize a pastry blender to break down the vegetable shortening into the flour mixture until it has a rough, chunky appearance.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well-combined. Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring continuously as you pour, until the dough is smooth and evenly blended.
4
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
5
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they have puffed up and turned a golden brown color.
