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

Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut shortening into the dry ingredients until the size of small peas (as for pie crust). Add the raisins and milk and mix to form dough. Knead 10 times and pat to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into 1 1/2 inch circles and bake on greased cookie sheets at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. May also be dropped by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased sheets.
