Baking powder biscuits

Ingredients/Components

• sugar - 2 Tbsp
• milk - 1 c
• salt
• flour - 2 c
• baking powder
• shortening - 1/2 c

How to make baking powder biscuits:

Combine dry ingredients with shortening and mix with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture has a coarse cornmeal-like consistency. Stir in the milk, blending until all ingredients are together. Turn onto a lightly floured board. Pat out flat and fold over; repeat about 2 times. Pat out to desired thickness (about 1/2-inch) and cut into desired shapes. (This dough is very wet when trying to pat into shape, do not add additional flour.) Place in a well-greased baking dish. Bake in a 425° oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot. Makes approximately 1 dozen medium size biscuits.
