Baking Powder Biscuits

Easy, Flaky Baking Powder Biscuits

2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
a dash of salt
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Measure flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Cut in shortening thoroughly until mixture looks like meal. Stir in all of the milk. Knead the dough. Roll out on a floured surface until it’s 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter (I use the top rim of a glass). Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, or until done.
