Grandpa'S Best Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
4 to 5 Tbsp. shortening
3/4 c. milk

Preparation

Mix dry ingredients together.
Cut in shortening (if using butter or margarine, should be chilled, not room temperature). Stir in cold milk.
The dough can have a few lumps; this is what gives the biscuits a flaky texture.
Roll out on a floured board to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Flour the biscuit cutter before cutting each biscuit.
Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and place in a preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes (or until brown) at 425\u00b0.
