Baking Powder Biscuits - 2

The following recipe is on the side of a bag of flour. It is the one I use the most, and I must say, I am getting better with practice.

This recipe has more salt than the first and a little less baking powder.

Baking Powder Biscuits Recipe - 2

2 cups enriched flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk gradually, mixing until dough can be formed into a ball. (Add a little more milk if necessary to make a soft dough). Turn out on lightly floured board and knead gently a few seconds. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in preheated oven (450 F) 12-15 minutes. Serve hot. Makes 12-15 biscuits.
