Lundy's Ultimate Biscuits

When my family visited my grandparents in brooklyn, years ago, we would wind up lundy's for great seafood, clam bisque, these biscuits and blueberry pie. the restaurant closed a few years ago and has reopened. I haven't been back so i can't comment on the food but i want to take my kids there since i have such fond memories of the experience" of eating at that legendary restaurant! this recipe comes from the lundy's cookbook. i guessed on the prep time since i haven't made these myself yet.

Steps

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Sift flour , baking powder , sugar , and salt into a large bowl.

Cut butter and shortening into small pieces and add to flour mixture.

Using hands or a pastry blender , crumble the fat into the flour mixture until the butter and shortening are pea-sized pieces and the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

Knead dough gently on a lightly floured work surface.

Roll out dough to 1 / 2 inch thick which is crucial to the outcome of the biscuits.

Use a 2 inch biscuit cutter or glass to cut out the biscuits and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 14-15 minutes until golder brown and serve hot.
