Best Biscuits

When I was younger,  biscuits came from a can.  Or Bisquick if you were feeling fancy.
Here is a recipe for warm, flaky, buttery, bread deliciousness.  Serve this with jam, honey, or some fantastic sausage gravy.  I guarantee  you will wish you had made two batches.

1 stick butter, chilled or frozen
2 tablespoon melted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk

A lot of recipes call for cutting in shortening.  Instead, grate the stick of butter into the flour using a box grater.  Then using your fingers,  mix the butter and flour until you get a course mixture.  Then add the rest of the ingredients.

You don't need to knead this dough.  Instead, form into a rough rectangle.  Then using a sharp knife, cut the rectangle into 12 squares.    Move the rectangle, still loosely together onto a baking sheet.  Brush tops with 2 tablespoon melted butter.  Bake in a preheated oven at 450 for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
