ingredients
- 1 3⁄4 cups pre-sifted all-purpose flour

- Stir the dough until it comes away from the sides of the bowl, then turn it onto a lightly floured board. Sift a small amount of flour over the top. Knead dough until no longer sticky and it is smooth.
- Roll out dough to desired thickness. Cut dough with a bicuit cutter or cookie cutter dipped in a little flour. Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little melted butter.
- Bake biscuits 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
