Mom'S Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Combine dry ingredients.
Cut in shortening.
add just enough milk to make the mixture moist, you probably won't use the full 1/2 cup.
Knead lightly until smooth. Don't over do it. If you do, you will have a hard flat biscut instead of one that is light and fluffy.
Press dough flat to 1/2 inch. Cut into 2 inch circles.
Place biscuits shoulder to shoulder on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes.
