Original Calumet Baking Powder Biscuits

Light, crisp-exteriored biscuits with butter and honey...mmm! Chef Jonathan Lundy of Jonathan's at Gratz Park in Lexington, KY, promised us this original Calumet Baking Powder Biscuit recipe. (His great-great granddad, William Monroe Wright, founded the company.)

Makes about a dozen
Ingredients
  • 2 cups sifted flour
  • 2 level tsps Calumet Baking Powder
  • ½ level tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp very-cold shortening
  • ¾ cup milk
Instructions
  1. Sift flour, baking powder and salt three times. Rub shortening in with a fork or the tips of your fingers, working lightly. Add milk and mix lightly to a dough. Turn onto a well-floured board and roll to 1-inch thickness. Cut and bake in a hot oven, 450 degrees, 12 to 15 minutes.

Be sure to chill the shortening before making these. Work with a light hand & don't knead too much.
