Grandma Clark’s Cloud Biscuits

These biscuits are so easy and actually take longer to cook than they do to make. They are delicious too, and are a staple at my grandmother’s when she needs a last minute roll or bread. -s loved them so much he couldn’t stop eating them. They are small, probably about the size of a 1/4 c. measuring cup, and they do look a lot like clouds…hence the name.

Ingredients:

• 2 c. flour
• 1 TBSP sugar
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. shortening
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1 egg, beaten lightly

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 475F.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, tartar, and salt. Blend in shortening. Add milk and egg.
3. Gather into a ball and knead 4-5 times–use some flower because the dough is quite sticky.
4. Spray your cookie sheet with cooking spray.
5. Take a spoon and cut off about TBSP of dough and just drop them on the cookie sheet–you can make them as round or as disfigured as you like. Don’t spend too much time making them perfect, because when they bake they take on the shape of clouds.
6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
