Biscuits

Preheat oven to 450F.

3 1/2 C plain flour
5 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
2/3 C Crisco
1 1/2 C milk

Mix dry ingredients in sifter. Cut in Crisco. (Thoroughly mix the Crisco into the flour. I use a pastry mixer for this. See picture.)



Make a well and pour the milk into the middle. Incorporate the milk into the flour mixture. Don't over mix. Turn out onto floured surface and gently roll dough into pastry about 3/4" thick. Cut biscuits and place on cookie sheet.

Bake at 450F for 15-20 minutes.
