Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
- Whisk together the flour, starch baking powder and salt. Cut the fat into the flour either with a pastry cutter, two knives or by rubbing the fat into the flour with your fingers. Make sure you leave some larger pieces of fat.
- Add the liquid, starting with ½ a cup and gradually adding a little more at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Put a little flour on a work surface and dump out the dough.
- Knead 3 or 4 times then either roll or pat it out to about ½ inch thick. Cut into biscuits using a 2 ½ inch cookie cutter. You can gently reform the dough to cut more biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
