How To Make Grandma’s Biscuits:

1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon white sugar. Mix them thoroughly.
3. Step 3: Incorporate the Margarine: Add the 1/2 cup margarine to the dry ingredients. You’ll want to chop it up into small pieces and then mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Step 4: Gradually Add the Milk: Pour in the 1 cup milk gradually, stirring as you go. Continue until the dough easily folds off the side of the bowl.
5. Step 5: Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it 15-20 times.
6. Step 6: Roll and Cut: Roll out the dough to approximately 1 inch in thickness. Then, cut the biscuits using a large piece or a cup dipped in flour. Repeat this process until the dough is used up, discarding any excess flour.
7. Step 7: Baking Time: Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking tray and bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Once the edges start turning golden brown, they are ready to be enjoyed.
