Poorfolks Biscuits

2 C flour
2-3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 TBLspn sugar
Enough cold water to form workable dough

Knead on floured board just long enough to form cohesive ball.
Pat out first, then roll out to thickness of 1/2 inch
Cut into rounds with anything handy
Place on cookiesheet, bake at 400 until well-browned, about 20-25 min.

If you've got it, remove about 5 min. B4 done, brush tops with melted butter, bacon grease, olive oil...even milk will give them a shine.

These are surprisingly light and tasty, go well under gravy (or lots of butter, if you have it). The better the flour (i.e., unbleached better than bleached, organic better yet) the better the taste.
