Mimi’s Baking Powder Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups Flour
• 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
• ¾ teaspoons Salt
• 4 Tablespoons Shortening
• ¾ cups Milk

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Sift all dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Cut in the shortening until well mixed. Stir in milk with a fork just enough to mix together all of the ingredients until they hold together.

Lightly shape the dough on a board and pat it out or roll it out uniformly flat. Use a cookie cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 425 F.

Makes 8-10 larger biscuits or 12-14 smaller biscuits.
