Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 12 mins

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

3. Cut in shortening with a fork or pastry cutter.

4. Make a well in the center of flour mixture and add milk, mix well with hands until a soft dough forms.

5. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Roll with rolling pin or flatten with hands to approx. 1/2 inch thick. Cut biscuits with biscuit cutter or rim of round glass.

6. Put biscuits on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter or margarine. Continue baking until biscuit tops are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes longer. ENJOY!Tip

I don’t spend a lot of time kneading the dough, just until it is mixed well.
