How to Make No Fail Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold shortening (vegetable or lard) using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup cold milk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times. Avoid over-kneading.
- Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits.
- Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
