Baking Powder Biscuits

A quick and easy biscuit recipe from cooks.com. I usually substitute white whole wheat flour and butter instead of shortening. Delish!

 
14 Biscuits:
2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk


Sift flour, salt, and baking powder into bowl. Add shortening and cut into flour with fork or pastry blender. Pour in milk and stir lightly until dough holds together. Turn dough out on lightly floured board. Pat dough out until 1/2 inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
