Biscuits

Here is the recipe for the biscuits I used to make for chicken a la king or just to eat when I was at home for the summer after sophomore year at BYU.  I am still working on remembering the right temp and time so I may update this after another try.  I also have a suggestion for making them healthier, but I haven't actually made them the healthier way yet so I'm not sure if it will be good.  I made 12 biscuits, but we had already eaten 3 before I remembered a picture.

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour + 1/3 cup flour -1 Tbs flour (a little weird because you are supposed to use cake flour I think)
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk

Directions:
1. Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in medium sized bowl. 
2. Work shortening into dry ingredients with you hands.
3. Add milk until dough sticks together into ball.  Dough should be somewhat wet/sticky.
4. Pinch off dough and drop onto stone.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.  (This is where I need to do some experimenting.  when I used to make them, I could just wait until the tops slightly browned and pulled them.  However, at 375 they weren't browning so they ended up being in 20 minutes but are a tad dry.  That is why I suggest closer to 15 minutes at 375.  A higher temp for a shorter amount of time may also be the key.)

Note: The yogurt substitute will cut the calories down to closer to 120-125 and basically cut the fat in half.  I haven't made them yet so I don't have the exact nutrition on it.
