Preparation

Step 1

Preheat over to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until crumbly. Gradually add milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Dough should be sticky.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/2 ich thickness with a floured rolling pin. Cut 12 biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch round cutter or n inverted glass. (You may have to re roll scraps to get a dozen). Place biscuits in a cast iron skillet, brush with half of the melted butter.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with remaining melted butter.
