Mamma"s Biscuits

Mamma's Biscuits
When I was very young, my mother taught me to make biscuits. I would always forget the recipe . But finally I remembered It in my late teens, and boy am I glad I did. Soft and tender, fluffy  they melt in your mouth. The same taste from childhood is in my home now, just because I learned how to make my Mamma's biscuits


Biscuits

3 cups flour all purpose
2 Tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt                                                               

These are ready to be placed on baking sheet

3 Tablespoon baking powder                                             

1/2 cup shortening or butter

1 cup milk
1 tablespoon yogurt

Mix the dry ingredients together, then add the shortening cutting it into the flour mixture, cut into pea size. Then mix the liquid and yogurt well. add milk into the flour mixture trying not to over mix. form a ball , on a floured surface , flatten into 1/2 inch thickness. Use biscuit cutter. place on greased baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes or until browned.

I used a mixture of bread flour and all-purpose flour i like the texture.
