Baking Powder Biscuits Dutch Oven Recipe

Ingredients:
2 Cup sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
4 Tbsp butter or shortening
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
Heat dutch oven to 400 degrees for Baking.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl.
Cut in small pieces of shortening or butter.
Add milk gradually, stirring until soft dough is formed.
Turn out on slightly floured board and lightly knead for 30 seconds, enough to shape.
Roll 1/2 inch thick and cut with open end of tomato paste can.
Place in single layer in dutch oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Makes about 2 dozen small biscuits.

All recipes use a 12-inch dutch oven, unless specified.
If you have a 10-inch dutch oven, use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If you have an 8-inch dutch oven, use about 1/2 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If no temperature is listed, use 350 degrees.

I was really excited to find a Dutch Oven at an antique mall. It seems brand new but it's seasoned, which looks possible. I'll skip the price but all I see is R12 on it. It's a 12qt and now I'm dismayed because your recipes are for smaller ones. I think I can adapt.
I love your site and plan on getting another smaller one for the 2 of us. We do have a lot of kids who visit so we can make larger amounts in the 12qt. Just got the fire pit set up in the back yard and the fall weather makes me want to get out there and cook!

I like to try new biscuit recipe's all the time, tried these today, everyone liked them could not get enough, give them a try you will like them too I bet.

I made these into "mini" biscuits. They were delicious and were done after 12 minutes.  It fed about 5 people perfectly.  Next time, I would make them a bit larger and add more coals on top, and fewer coals on bottom to get a more even golden brown coloring.
