Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
Place flour in a medium bowl.
Add shortening and using pastry blender or two knives, cut in until consistency of coarse crumbs.
With a fork, blend in just enough milk until dough leaves sides of bowl.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead 10 to 12 strokes.
Roll dough out ½-inch thick.
Shape with 2-inch cutter. Bake on ungreased baking sheet (place biscuits 1-inch apart for crusty sides or almost touching for soft sides) until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
