1/3 c. shortening
1 3/4 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut shortening into flour. Add baking powder and salt. Stir milk in gradually until dough forms ball. Knead dough on lightly floured surface until dough is blistered and can be rolled out approximately 1/2 inch thick.

Use biscuit or cookie cutters to form 8-10 1/2 inch diameter biscuits. Cook on ungreased cookie sheet 1/2 inch apart for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

This is easy to do with children and you can use animal shaped cookie cutters. Eat warm with butter or jelly.
