Directions

Cut shortening into flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

When mixture resembles small crumbs add milk, but not all at once.

Only add enough so that the dough leaves the side of the bowl.

Too much and the dough will not cook through, too little and the biscuits will be dry, if they don't fall apart first.

Knead on floured counter about 20 times and roll to about ½ inch thick.

Cut out at about 2 inches wide.

Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 min. or until golden.

Brush with butter an sprinkle with Parmesan cheese just before pulling out (optional)

You can also use up that buttermilk, just cut baking powder to ¼ teaspoon salt to ¼ teaspoon and add ¼ teaspoon baking soda, then use buttermilk instead of milk.

Note: Raisins, dried cranberries or nuts are welcome to be added to batter.
