    List of Ingredients

    1 Tablespooon double acting baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup CRISCO
    3/4 cup milk

    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.

    For Hors D'oeuvres:

    cutter and place on a cookie sheet. Prick several times with a fork. Bake

    pastry rounds with cheese spread, meat salad, liver pate, or egg salad.
