How to make rolled biscuits:

*If you use self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into the mixing bowl, cut in shortening until mixture looks crumbly. Stir in milk slowly to make soft, but not sticky dough. Enough milk has been added when the flour mixture just clings together in a ball. Lightly flour a work surface, board or pastry cloth. Turn dough out on it. Knead gently for about 1/2 minute. Gently roll or pat dough until 1/2 inch thick. Cut with round cutter. Bake on ungreased baking sheet 10 to 15 minutes. Place close together for biscuits with soft sides or an inch apart for crust biscuits.

Makes about 12 biscuits, 1 3/4 inch size.
