Can you make biscuits without baking powder?

Hi all,

Hubby really wants to make some biscuits this evening, but the only recepies we can find have baking powder in them. What does the baking powder do and are there any recepies for biscuits without them?

Thanks all,

Flis

Hi flis,

Queenie's everyday biscuits are lovely and don't contain baking powder.

Must admit that whenever I see a recipe for plain flour and baking powder I always use SR flour and have had no problems.

I only have SR flour in the house, never plain.
