Biscuits

Biscuits

2 cups self-rising flour
½ cup solid shortening (Crisco)
¾ cup milk

*Measure flour into a large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a fork, it needs to be the consistency of coarse meal. Add milk and stir until mixture leaves sides of bowl and forms soft, moist dough. Turn onto floured surface; sprinkle dough lightly with flour. Knead gently until mixture is no longer sticky. Roll out 1/2” thick; cut with 2’ floured cutter. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 450°F for 8 to 12 minutes until golden brown.

* Be sure to measure flour by lightly spooning flour into a cup and level off. Do not pack the flour. In any baking, measurements have to be precise and always use the same set of measuring cups with all ingredients.
