Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup Pamela's Pancake & Baking Blend
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the biscuits will bake evenly and rise beautifully.
  2. Make sure all the ingredients are measured out and ready to go. Having everything at hand makes the process smoother and faster.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Pamela's Pancake & Baking Blend and garlic powder. Stir them together to evenly distribute the garlic flavor throughout.
  4. Cut the shortening into the dry mixture until you achieve a crumbly texture. Then, stir in the honey until combined. This adds a beautiful sweetness to the dough.
  5. Pour in the milk and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. This will keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
  6. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop generous mounds of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each drop.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. You want the biscuits to turn golden brown.
  8. Once baked, remove the biscuits and let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients: Cold shortening and milk lead to fluffier biscuits. The temperature helps create that perfect tender texture.
  • Don't overmix: A few lumps in the dough are okay. Overmixing will lead to tough biscuits.
  • Experiment with flavors: Try adding shredded cheese, herbs, or spices to tailor them to your taste.
  • Check doneness: Ovens can vary. Check the biscuits a minute or two early; they should be lightly golden.
  • Use a digital scale: Measuring the flour by weight can improve consistency, especially in different climates.
