Biscuits

Biscuits
2 cups flour
1T baking powder
1tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup cold milk or buttermilk

combine flour, baking powder, salt and then cut up the butter and mix it with a fork until the butter is really tiny like sea sand. Add the milk and mix just until the milk has made the flour stuff wet. Put some extra flour on the counter top (like a fairy dusting of flour, not like putting down straw for a cow) and put the dough ontop of the flour. Then put a little flour on top of the dough so it won't stick to the rolling pin. Roll out until it is about as thick as toothbrush's head... you know like the bristle part?) take a round cup and push it into the dough until it touches the counter and then push hard so it cuts through. Shake out the buscuit. Do it again until the dough has all been cut into biscuits. Put the biscuits on a heavy baking pan or stone. Bake at 450degrees for 10 minutes. Take out right away using an oven mitt or hot pad or have your mom do this part and serve with the split pea soup. This will make about 12 big biscuits or 20 kinda small biscuits. You don't have to do round biscuits either! You could do like some hearts or crazy fish or leaves or something. Be creative!
