Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 T baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening (I use Crisco butter flavored)
3/4 cup milk
Directions:
* Preheat oven to 450°F.
1. Mix flower, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cut in shortening until only pea-sized bits remain
3. Mix in milk just enough to wet the dry ingredients. DO NOT OVERMIX!
4. Drop onto a greased baking pan and bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.
Variations:
- Add 2 teaspoons ground black pepper and 2 T fresh chopped rosemary to dry ingredients.
- Add 3/4-1 cup of grated cheddar cheese and 1 T powdered garlic to mix after cutting shortening in.
- Make a sweet biscuit by adding 1 T of cinnamon and some raisins to dry ingredients. Top with cinnamon sugar after baking.
