Jerry'S Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. your favorite self-rising flour
1/4 c. shortening
2/3 to 3/4 c. milk or buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 500\u00b0.
Measure flour and put in a medium bowl. Cut in shortening until flour becomes coarse crumbs.
Blend in just enough milk, with a fork, until dough leaves sides of bowl. (Too much milk makes dough too sticky to handle; not enough milk makes biscuits dry.)
Knead gently on lightly floured surface 10 to 12 times.
