12 eggs
2 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. black pepper (or more to taste)
2 c. flour (to start)
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. shortening, melted

Mix flour, salt, pepper and baking powder together. Make a well of flour and pour eggs and shortening in center. Mix together to form a ball, if dough is sticky add more flour. Pull apart and make bagel shaped biscuits. Drop a couple at a time in a large pot of boiling water, boil until they double in size. Remove from water and slit around outer edge with a knife (don't go through biscuit). Drain on paper towels. Cook on oven rack at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until light brown.
