James Beard'S Baking Powder Biscuits

1. 1

   Sift flour into mixing bowl with baking powder and salt.

2. 2

   Using fingers, two knives, or a heavy fork, blend butter and flour into very fine particles. (Don't beat any longer than you absolutely must!).

3. 3

   Add milk and stir just enough to ake particles cling together -- it will be a very soft dough.

4. 4

   (You may have to add up to another 1/4 cup of milk, for a total of 1 cup of milk in the biscuit dough.) Turn on to floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.

5. 5

   Drop dough by large spoonfuls on to a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray.

6. 6

   Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.
