Beaten Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour, sifted
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup other shortening
1/2 cup milk

Preparation

Sift dry ingredients together, blend in shortening and just enough milk to make a very stiff dough.
Knead on a floured board until dough becomes soft and pliable.
Run dough through a meat grinder or a food processor using a coarse knife or beat steadily with a wooden potato masher for 30 minutes, or until dough blisters, keeping edges turned into the center.
Roll to 1/2\" thickness, cut with a biscuit cutter, prick with a fork and bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until golden-ivory in color.
