Biscuits ( vanilla )

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1¾ cup All-purpose flour
⅓ cup Vanilla sugar
2 teaspoons Baking powder
¼ teaspoon Each baking soda and salt
⅓ cup Butter
1 Egg
⅓ cup Dairy sour cream
½ cup Milk
Powdered sugar

Directions

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a well in the center.

In a small mixing bowl, beat egg slightly; stir in sour cream until smooth. Stir in milk. Add egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.

Drop dough from a slightly rounded tablespoon onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 F. for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.

Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Sift powdered sugar over the tops. Serve warm.

Yield: About 12 biscuits.
