Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the softened margarine and crumble with your fingers.
Make a well in the middle and add the milk and work into dough. Form into a ball.
Flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to approximately ½ inch thick and cut into circles.
Place biscuits in a cupcake tin to bake.
Bake approximately 15 -20 minutes or until lightly golden.

Catherine, My wife makes terrific chili...lots of meat and lots of heat! Chili is one of my wintertime go to comfort foods... I wouldn't be able to have those luscious biscuits with it though...because I'd rather have 2 big bowls of chili! Take Care and Merry Christmas! Big Daddy Dave
