Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 1 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425F.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

3. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1" thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.

4. Bake for 13-15 mins in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
