Use these little biscuits to make mini strawberry shortcakes, or serve with small slices of ham or sausage gravy. These make a great base for passed hors d'oeuvres.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar, optional
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut in small pieces
2 tablespoons shortening, chilled
3/4 cup milk, low fat or whole
PREPARATION:
Heat oven to 450°.
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a mixing bowl. With a pastry cutter, cut in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in milk just until clumping.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times, just until the dough holds together. Pat into a circle about 1/4 to 1/2-inch in thickness. Cut out with a 1 or 2-inch diameter round cutter. Place the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until ****en brown.
Makes about 2 dozen, depending on size.
