Yum yum yum. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, or jelly.

The actual recipe is as followed:

Biscuit Recipe

2 cups Gold MedalĀ® all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup milk

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter or line a baking sheet.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork, pastry blender, or 2 table knives, combine the butter and flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Slowly add the milk, stirring with a fork, to the desired consistency.

3. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and gently knead just to bring the dough together. Carefully roll out the dough about 3/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or sturdy glass, cut about 12 biscuits, rerolling any scraps. Place on the lined baking sheet. Bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes (add 3 to 4 additional minutes for frozen ones), until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve warm.
