Instructions: * For brushing tops of biscuits, original recipe called for 1/4 to 1/2 stick melted butter.

Mix dry ingredients together. Add butter and milk.
*(I cut the butter into the flour and work it in until crumbly before adding the milk.) Mix well, roll and cut. Place on ungreased cookie sheet with edges touching.

Bake at 400F for about 15 minutes. When they begin to brown, pour 1/4 to 1/2 stick melted butter over them.
*(I just brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter instead so as to cut down on the fat grams.) Bake until done (about 20 minutes

Makes about 8 big biscuits.

* My notes.

Lauras Notes:
1. You want a fairly wet batter when you turn it out onto the surface to roll it out. So dont be afraid to use all the milk. Use a lot of flour on the surface, and sprinkle the top of the dough. Turn it a bit and shape it into a loose ball with your hands, but dont "knead" it. Then roll it out.

2. Be sure to roll the dough out to be thick. Do not make them too thin, or they wont look like the famous biscuits that we all know and love. Theyll bake up big and fat, and youll find that you may need to loosen them around the sides with a spatula before you lift them up. Remember, these are not dry like Hungry Jack biscuits; they are big and moist, sort of like Bo Jangles! :-) Enjoy!
