Directions • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). • In a bowl mix dry ingredients. • Add the shortening, using the pastry blender, cut-in. • Use a wooden spoon to add milk a little at a time and mix until it forms a ball. • Knead • Roll out on floured board to 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick. (I prefer them thicker) • Use biscuit cutter to cut (depending on the thickness) 6-8 biscuits • Dip in melted shortening. • Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. • Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Variation: For shortcakes add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the dough and roll dough out to 1/2 inch thick.
