   ["Preheat oven to 400, I place a rack in lowest position in the oven.", "Combine dry ingredients.", "Cut in butter.", "Stir in liquid until it just begins to pull from the sides- it will be pretty moist.", "Spread 1/4 C flour on a pastry board and dump the dough onto the flour.", "Gently turn the dough until all sides are covered with flour.", "Knead by gently rubbing the dough into the flour, a scant 8 to 10 turns.", "Pat the dough into a 1 inch thich slab.", "Cut into rounds with a sharp round biscuit cutter- I use a 2 1/2 inch cutter-- you can push the scraps together to make room to cut a few more, try not to knead it too much.", "Place on insulated cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.", "Put in HOT oven and bake for 12- 15 minutes.", "You can test by lifting the top layer of the center biscuit; if it's done it will look dry inside and the edges will be golden.", "(I get 9 biscuits when I use a 2 1/2"" cutter)."]
