    Old-Fashioned Biscuits

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 1/2 teaspoons Clabber Girl Baking Powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup shortening
    3/4 cup milk
    1 tablespoon soft margarine or butter

    Recipe



    In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour,
    baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender,
    cut in shortening till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
    Add the milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just till moistened
    and dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl (dough will be sticky).

    On a floured surface, lightly knead dough with floured hands
    for 30 seconds or till nearly smooth. Lightly roll dough to 3/4-inch
    thickness. Cut dough with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping cutter
    into flour between cuts.

    Baking Instructions:
    Place biscuits close together on a lightly greased baking sheet.
    Brush tops with soft margarine. Bake in a 475° oven for 11 to 15
    minutes or till golden brown. Serve warm. Makes about 8.
