- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cups Shortening
- 3/4 cups Milk
Method
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender (or by pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk until dough leaves the side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
- Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a floured 2 to 2-1/4 inch round cutter. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart for crusty sides or touching for soft sides.
- Bake 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
