Not *Quite* KFC good, but REALLY good and easy

Um, yeah, so these are pretty good. They're not quite KFC good, but they're really easy and tasty. I'd recommend doubling it because they really only make 6. Don't roll them out too thin because they don't rise that much. I'm not great at making homemade biscuits -- I think I tend to over or under "work" them, but I've made these 3 times and they've come out perfect. Just fyi.

1 1/2 cups flour 

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

2 Sift together flour, salt, sugar and baking powder into mixing bowl.
