Ingredients

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 3/4 - 1 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

Start oven at 450 degrees F. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in a mixing bowl

Step 2

Cut shortening into sifted dry ingredients with a pastry blender. Cut until mixture looks like coarse meal. Pour in milk, a small amount first, and stir with a fork until dough is mixed but rough looking. Add remaining milk if necessary.

Step 3

Work fast - pat dough on lightly floured board 1/2" thick. Use as little flour as possible. Cut dough in a cookie cutter that has been dipped in flour. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 15 minutes.
