Big Daddy Biscuits

This recipe is from the all recipe site by john pickett with lots of great reviews. these biscuits are exactly what i was looking for. i modified the recipe just a bit due to suggestions by some of his reviewers and it worked great for me also. thanks to him i can now bake biscuits i like! i'm going to make some ahead for the freezer since we liked this recipe so well.

Steps

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In large bowl , whisk together flour , baking powder , salt and sugar.

Cut in the 1 / 3 cup of butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Gradually stir in the milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

Turn out onto a floured surface , and knead 15 to 20 times.

Cut into biscuits.

Brush off excess flour and place biscuits onto a lightly sprayed baking pan.

Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.

Bake for 10-15 minutes.

I actually lift a biscuit off the pan and see if the bottoms are a nice light golden brown and then i remove from oven.

I had about 9-10 biscuits from this mix.
