- Heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Sift together dry ingredients.
- Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add just enough milk to moisten (start with the 2/3 cup and add a little more at a time until all is moist).
- Pat the dough lightly with fingertips on a lightly floured surface to make a 1/2 thick square.
- Using a knife or pastry blade, cut into squares.
- This makes the most tender biscuits, but if you want you can cut them into circles and reuse the dough until all gone.
- The later biscuits to be cut out will be slightly less tender than the first.
- Place on a cookie sheet and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until tops are golden.
