Baking Powder Biscuits

1/2 Cup shortening
2 Cups flour
1 TBL sugar
3 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
3/4 Cup Milk

Heat over to 450 degrees.
Cut shortening into flour, sugar, baking power, and salt until mixture looks like small crumbs.  Stir in milk until dough leaves side of bowl.  Dough will be soft and sticky.

Place dough onto floured surface kneed lightly about 10 times. Roll out and about 1/2 inch thick and cut out biscuits with round cutter (I use a kids cup to cut out the biscuits.)

Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
