What you need:

1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2) Sift the flour,baking powder,and salt into a large bowl.

3) Cut-in the shortening by taking two dull knives (one in

each hand) and literally cutting into the shortening,rather

than mixing and smashing it. The batter should end up being crumbly.

4) Make a hole in the center of the dough and pour in the milk.

Stir the dough for only a minute, trying to get the flour off the sides of the bowl.

5) Drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet or into lined muffin tins

one teaspoonful at a time.

6) Bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

7) Serve warm with butter and jam.

Makes about 20 small biscuits.

ENJOY!!!!
