Yummy Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 cups flour, sifted

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup shortening

3/4 cups milk

Directions: Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients until well combined. With a pastry blender (or fork), cut-in the shortening until coarse crumbs appear. Next, form a well in the center of the mixture and add the milk. Fold together the ingredients until a soft dough is formed (should be fairly sticky). Carefully pour the dough onto a floured surface and gently form the dough into a ball, only using small amounts of flour. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter. place biscuits (touching each other) on a greased baking sheet. Bake 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
