Biscuits Elfriede

Biscuits Elfriede (named after my mom...)

2 Cups Flour (white or Whole wheat)
3 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
2 Tbs Sugar, more or less if you want savoury biscuits, less sugar
Mix dry ingredients well

Then, cut with a pastry blender
½ cup Butter or Margarine (butter is better tasting, I think)
OPTION: add 1/2 cup grated strong cheese like blue or old cheddar
1 Egg may be added if desired
½ cup Milk or Yogourt
Mix to make sticky
Knead together but do not mix more than 18 times

Roll out flat and cut into desired shapes.

Bake in a 400* preheated oven for 15 minutes or less.
