2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together. Cut shortening
into dry mixture. Combine beaten egg, milk, and vanilla and stir into
dry mixture. Turn out onto floured board and roll into a pseudo-rectangle
1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle with sugar and roll jelly-roll fashion. Cut
into slices 3/4-inch thick using a thread (makes cleaner cuts) and place
on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops with milk. Bake 12-15 minutes
at 450F or until golden brown. Top with sweetened peaches (or any fruit).
This also tastes wonderful for breakfast crumbled with milk over it.
