Not sure where I found this one, but I've had it for quite a while. It's pretty easy; just don't overwork the dough.
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 to 1 cup milk (or half milk & half water)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients together, work in butter with fingertips or pastry mixer. Add liquid gradually, mixing to make a soft dough. (The total amount of liquid needed will vary, depending on weather, altitude etc.) Knead on floured board for a few minutes, then lightly roll out to 3/4 inch thick. Shape with biscuit cutter. Place on greased baking sheet, prick with a fork, and bake 12 to 15 minutes. For a richer biscuit, double the amount of butter. Makes 12 to 15 biscuits.
