Cracked Black Pepper Biscuits

I’ve been on a bis­cuit kick.  Mak­ing bis­cuits with dif­fer­ent addi­tions and flares.  I can’t help it, they feed my love of carbs & are painfully easy to make.  How could I not make them?  Easy for break­fast, lunch, or din­ner.  Or those days when break­fast is served for dinner.

What You Need:

2 Cups of Flour (2 cups All Pur­pose or 2 Cups Bread Flour)

2.5 Tea­spoons of Bak­ing Powder

1 Tea­spoon of Cracked Black Pepper

1/2 Tea­spoon of Salt

4 Table­spoons of Butter

3/4 Cup of Milk

1 Table­spoon of But­ter (Melted for Brush­ing on top)

Cook for 12–14 min­utes at 400 Degrees

Makes 12 medium-large bis­cuits at 1 inch think

How To Put It Together:

Sift all the dry ingre­di­ents together.  Sift them into a large bowl.

Add in cubed 4 Table­spoons of but­ter.  I like unsalted but­ter if I make it with but­ter, you can also make it with but­ter short­en­ing which I also like to use.  How­ever, for this recipe I decided on reg­u­lar old but­ter.  Because the world is bet­ter with butter.

Cut in the but­ter.  You can use a fork.

Add milk.

Kneed & roll out the dough to about an inch thick.  If you don’t have a rolling pin you can use any round item that is longer, like a bottle.

Cut out your bis­cuits.  I don’t have a cut­ter that is for bis­cuits so I impro­vise & this time I used a 1/2 cup to cut out the bis­cuits. See I’m always thinking.

Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, brush with melted but­ter.  Again as I wrote before but­ter does make the world a bet­ter place.

Cook for 12–14 min­utes at 400 degrees & after eat.  Eat & eat some more.  But­ter them more (I know I’m SO bad).  Add honey or make sausage gravy & cover them.  Oh, so good.  I mean so good.
