Oven 430 - 450 degrees. Depends on how hot your oven gets
3 cups sifted flour
2 TBSP Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix and Set aside
Cut one stick of " real " unsalted butter in small squares ( I cut long ways in 1/2 then the 1/2s in 1/2 again - then cross cut in squares
Then place in top of flour mixture cut in with pastry cutter or your fingers ...do not make butter too small...secret is to not over mix
Now measure 1 cup of milk (does not have to be fresh) mix in 1 large egg.
Now careful mix milk mixture with flour. I use a fork..again do not over mix when thing start to come together
Scoop out mixture onto a floured surface shape with your hands and cut into square biscuits (I do not make round ones as I like to use all the biscuit dough)
Bake 12 - 15 minutes. You can use un-greased cookie sheet or try a pizza stone
Ps baked another batch for the freezer this morning as I still had a lot of milk left from last week
Took another photo just to show that they come out pretty much the same every time
Any questions please ask.

I use an oven thermometer also. need a new one. I always preheat and I use canned but always get the buttermilk or flaky. They have usually been brushed with butter or it's in the batter. I know some use egg brushed on top. I alos use parchment paper. Hate doing dishes and DH says it is his new best friend.

Opps. Just packaged the left over biscuits for freezer and remembered I forgot to put in recipe that I add 1 TBSP sugar to dry mix. You can do without it just gives a little sweetness to biscuit. Sorry. I make them from. Memory most of time but do have recipe saved.

So the bisquits would have been a deal breaker had you known prior to getting married? I had to giggle. My husband did not tell me that I would have to go to the LAUNDRYMAT until after I sold MY house I MOVED 110 miles and got back from the honeymoon only to learn that there were no laundry hookups in the basement. THAT should have been my deal breaker.
Canned bisquits are fine by me. Buy the small cans for yourself.
I buy shrimp for me...he is Allergic.
