High Altitude Biscuits

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

So after about 4 recipes I found a biscuit recipe that bakes very well in the high altitude.  They turn out beautifully, the are light and fluffy on the inside, but they miss a little bit of sweetness... or something.  If you are a fan of figuring out ingredient tweeks suggest away (please Deborah).  I really like this recipe but it needs just a little something.

High Altitude Biscuits
(makes 6-10)

2 c flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 stick cold salted butter
1 c cold milk
1/2 lemon (we don't have buttermilk here)

Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C).  Squeeze lemon into cold milk.  Mix flour, baking powder, salt.  Cut butter into dry ingredients until pea-size.  Add soured milk a little at a time until dough is sticky but stays together.  Roll out onto floured surface.  Knead 7-10 times (the less the better).  Cut into squares or with biscuit cutter.  Bake 15-25 minutes.  Brush tops with melted butter.
