2 c. plain flour, sifted
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk

Self-rising may successfully be used simply by omitting the baking powder and salt. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in shortening. Add milk gradually. Put onto board and knead lightly. Pat to 1 inch thick. Place on ungreased pan. Bake 8-10 minutes in 400 degree oven.
