ROYAL BISCUITS MASTER RECIPE
~Submitted by Shirley, WA State
2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 salt
4 tbl. shortening
3/4 c. milk
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add shortening and mix in
with two knives cutting back and forth or use a pastry blender. Add
liquid to make soft dough. Turn out on floured board and turn over so
both sides are lightly dusted with flour. Pat with hands to 1/2 inch
thickness. Place on a greased pan. Bake in hot oven at 475°F. about 12
min. Makes 16 two inch biscuits.
*Common cause of failure: Insufficient mixing of shortening and flour.
Patting to thin or handling to much after milk has been added. Use a
fork to just pull the dough together. Baking in to slow of an oven. To
much flour used on your board you are patting them out on. Use a light
hand.
Buttermilk Biscuits:
1 master recipe for biscuits
1/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 c. buttermilk or sour milk
Sift soda with dry ingredients when making the dough. Use the buttermilk
in place of sweet milk.
Orange Biscuit Squares:
1 master recipe for biscuits
1 tbl. sugar
grated rind and juice of 1 orange

English Beefsteak Pie
One recipe for the master biscuits
1 1/2 lbs. raw lean beef
1/4 lb. raw ham

2 tbl. chopped parsley
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 hard cooked eggs
Cut beef and ham in thin slices. Melt butter in frying pan, add onion
and meat and cook until meat is well browned. Add flour; add water,
stirring constantly until well blended. Add seasonings, parsley and
sliced potatoes. Cook about 20 minutes more until meat is done. Place in
greased baking dish; garnish with sliced cooked eggs. Make biscuit; roll
out 1/2 inch thick, place on top of mixture in baking dish. Make several
cuts in dough to allow steam to escape. Bake in hot oven at 475°F. for
