2 c. all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. milk

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder and salt into bowl and cut in shortening, thoroughly mixing until mixture looks like meal. Stir in almost all of the milk and mix well. If dough is not soft enough, add the rest of milk and mix until soft. Knead lightly about 10 to 15 times. Roll dough into little ball. Press down lightly, place on greased baking sheet, and bake until brown. Brush top with butter. Serve hot.
