Ingredients:
2 cups white flour
4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 to 2/3 cup cold milk

Directions:
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slice the butter while it is very cold, add it to the dry ingredients, and cut it in with a pastry blender or two knives until it is in bits the size of split peas. The texture of this mixture should be a little more coarse than that of a short-crust mixture before the liquid is added. This could be done in a food processor but blend for only a few seconds.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cold milk over the flour and butter, and stir it in quickly with a fork. Add only as much more of the milk as is necessary to make the dough hold together.
Gather the dough up into a ball, working it together with your hands very briefly, and then roll it out Vi inch thick on a floured board. Cut out small rounds and place them on un greased baking sheets. If you aren´t going to put them in the oven immediately, chill them in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, or until puffed and lightly browned on top. Serve them hot with butter.
