Baking Powder Biscuits

Mix and sift twice two cups of flour, 4 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt. Work in 2 Tbsp. butter and add 3/4 cup milk gradually. Roll on floured board lightly until half an inch in thickness. Cut and place on greased pan. Bake in hot oven for 15 minutes.

Grandma's note: It's important for oven to be very hot. If baked in too slow an oven the gas will escape before it's done it's work of making lots of air pockets and keeping the biscuits light.
