Recipe



In a bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender, two
knives or a fork, cut in Crisco until mixture looks like coarse meal. Add
milk and stir just enough to hold dough together. Place on a lightly
floured surface and knead lightly; roll 1/2-inch thick. Cut with floured
biscuit cutter and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 425�F
for 12 to 15 minutes, until brown as desired. Makes 16 medium biscuits.

For Cheese Biscuits:
Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese before stirring in milk.

For Orange Tea Biscuits:
Combine 1 teaspoon grated orange peel, 2 tablespoons orange juice
and 1/3 cup sugar. Brush on biscuits before baking them.

For Cinnamon Tidbits:
Roll out dough as directed. Cut dough into small bite-sized pieces and
place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
Bake at 425�F for 6 to 9 minutes, until brown as desired.

For Turnovers:
Roll out dough as directed and cut into 4 to 5-inch squares. Place on a
cookie sheet. Near the center of each square put 1 tablespoon of your
favorite fruit pie filling. Fold pastry over to form a triangle. Seal edges
well with a fork. Bake at 425�F for 10 to 15 minutes, until brown as
desired.

For Tarts:
Roll out dough as directed. Cut circles of dough 4 to 5 inches in
diameter and place over bottom of muffin cups; pinch dough together to
hold shape. Prick several times with a fork. Bake at 425�F for 8 to 10
minutes, until brown as desired. Cool. Gently remove tart shells from
muffin cups. Fill with your favorite pie filling.
