List of Ingredients




2 C Flour
1 Tbsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/3 C Shortening
2/3 C Milk


Recipe



Preheat oven to 450°F.

Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender, and add the milk, blending quickly, just until dry ingredients are moistened. A sticky dough will result.

Turn the dough out on a floured board. Flour your hands and knead the dough 3 or 4 times.

Important: Do not overhandle dough. Roll or pat to a 1/2-inch thickness.

Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.

For soft-sided biscuits,place close together on a lightly greased baking sheet or in a lightly greased cast iron skillet (vegetable cooking spray works just fine).

For biscuits that are crusty all around, place about an inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes a dozen biscuits.
