Try the Sausage Biscuits (right) as a great twist and an easy meal. Split the biscuits, add a slice of cheese and you have a delicious handheld breakfast sandwich.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
1. Heat oven to 450°.
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk until dough leaves side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
3. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 to 2 1/4-inch round cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart for crusty sides, touching for soft sides.
4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
*If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.
