Company Cloud Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk
1 egg
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients.
Cut in shorting with a pastry blender or a couple butter knives.
Stir in milk and egg.
Knead with flour until doughy (not so sticky).
Roll out 3/4 to 1 inch and cut with biscuit cutter.
Place close together on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tops begin to brown.
(check the bottoms to make sure they're cooked through).
I usually double this recipe if I'm making them for a main course (biscuits & gravy) or use as is for a dinner bread with the meal.
