Yield: 10 Biscuits

2 cups All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Packed dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Baking powder
¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
\N \N Scant 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon Finely ground pepper
6 tablespoons Cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
¼ cup Plus 2 tbsp. milk
¼ cup Fancy molasses
1 tablespoon Heavy cream for brushing

Heat oven to 375ø. Place rack in the center of the oven. Sift together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, ginger, cloves and pepper. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and molasses until completely combined. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the milk and molasses. Using a fork, stir the mixture until almost combined. Gently bring the remaining smaller dough particles together with your fingertips. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into rounds with a 2 inch cookie cutter. Gently press the excess dough together and cut more biscuits until dough is gone. Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet; generously brush tops with cream. Bake until golden brown, 24 to 26 minutes. Cool on racks before serving. Yield: 10 biscuits Typed in MMFormat by cjhartlin.msn@... Source: TV Guide April 3/99
