White Lily "Light" Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. White Lily self-rising flour
1/4 c. shortening (Crisco)
2/3 to 3/4 c. milk or buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 500\u00b0.
Measure flour into bowl by spooning into measuring cup and leveling off.
Cut in shortening with pastry blender until resembles coarse crumbs.
Blend in just enough milk with fork until dough leaves the sides of the bowl. (Too much milk makes dough too sticky to handle; not enough milk makes biscuits dry.)
