Default Let's Make Biscuits.

Okay I'm not the only person in the world that can make biscuits but here goes.
It is 18 pictures with comments along the way describing I hope everything.
Make these for your family or dog and they will love you forever.
Here is the recipe first.
2 cups of all purpose flour.
1 cup of milk.
1 teaspoon of salt, yes no doesn't matter your choice.
1 heaping tablespoon of fresh baking powder.
About 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cold shortening, butter or lard, this one was made with lard.
A big mixing bowl.
A pastry blender.
First you will put all dry ingredients in the bowl and mix up well.
Then put the lard etc in chunks in the bowl and start cutting into the flour.
At first you will need something to scrap the fat from the pastry knife.
But as time goes along you wont need to anymore.
Keep chopping mixing and stirring until it is completely mixed together with no lumps of fat.
What you now have is Bisquick you should be able to squeeze the mixture together and it should stay that way but fall right back apart again when you want it to.
Here come the pictures the first six will be from start to finished dough.
All dry ingredients mixed with lard on top.

The same thing here it should stand on it's own.

Now make a bowl in the flour and pour in about half the milk and mix it up but dont go crazy.

Now you will slowly add more milk until it is still wet but not runny.
as you see I have about 1/3 cup of milk left over.
Make sure the dough is sticky.

Now on to the next post where you can make the biscuits and you will have choices.
