Ranch House Biscuits

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 375° F

Combine all dry ingredients and blend well. Cut in butter. Add eggs and milk to the dry mixture, then blend until combined. If the mixture it too wet, add a little more flour. Spread dough out with flour-covered hands on a lightly floured area about 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Spread a thin layer of Filling over the biscuit dough and the remaining into a baking dish. Roll the biscuit dough up as a jellyroll. Slice into 1-inch pieces and place the pieces into the wet baking dish (stick the biscuit pieces together like a puzzle). Bake uncovered.

When done, turn out immediately by placing a plate over the baking pan, turning the whole thing upside down, away from your body. Lift the baking dish off the biscuits and let it set up for a few minutes. Serve warm.
