Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons sugar, plus 2 teaspoons
  
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 8 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
  
• 2/3 cup 1% milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425degrees F.

In the bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Work in the butter with your fingers until a coarse meal is formed. Pour in milk and gently mix it in with a rubber spatula or fork, be careful not to over mix the dough or the biscuits will be tough. Form into 8 equal disks, about 3/4 inch thick, 3 inches across. Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet and sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and are a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Makes 8 shortcakes.
