I need a foolproof, easy biscuits recipe, homemade.?!
Answers:
I love my mother's recipe for standard biscuits!.
2 cups sifted flour
3 tblspns shortening or cold margarine
1 cup milk
1 tsp salt
4 1/2 tsps baking powder
Sift dry ingredients together!. Cut in shortening until fine and crumbly!. Add milk and stir until just moistened!. Pat dough out with hands on floured flat surface until one inch thick!. Cut into circles with floured water glass and put on ungreased cookie sheet!. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges!.
I often add a little garlic powder, parsley and grated cheese to make cheese biscuits!. Or you can add a bit of sugar and they make good sweet biscuits for strawberry shortcakes!.
My mom always said that the secret to really good biscuits was to mix a lot before you add the liquid and then to handle the dough as little as possible after you add the liquid!. I've found that to be true!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

These are very good, and pretty easy!.
Frozen Butter Biscuits
Four cups of all-purpose flour
Two large spoonfuls of baking powder
Two small spoonfuls of salt
Two sticks of frozen butter, eight ounces
A cup and a half of milk
A sprinkle or two of salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F!. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together until they’re evenly mixed!. Grate the frozen butter into the dry ingredients!. Shred it through the large holes of a box grater or potato grater directly into the flour!. Toss gently with your fingers until the butter shards are spread evenly throughout the flour!.
Pour the milk into the flour mixture and stir with an upside down wooden spoon to form a dough mass!. The handle of the spoon is gentler on the dough!. Fold the dough over a few times with your hands until all the ingredients come together!. If necessary add a few spoonfuls more milk to help gather up any stray flour!. This kneading will strengthen the dough a bit but not enough to toughen the biscuits!. It will also help them form a crisp crust when they bake!.
Pat the dough out on a lightly floured cutting board forming a loose round shape!. Cut into wedges – like a pie - or any other shape you’re in the mood for!. Position on a baking sheet; sprinkle on a bit of coarse salt and coarsely ground pepper!. Bake for fifteen minutes or so!. You’ll know they’re done when they turn golden brown!. Enjoy at once with lots of brown butter!
