- Heat oven to 450.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut shortening into mixture with pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Stir in just enough milk to form a soft dough. Dough should leave the side of the bowl and round up into a ball.
- Too much milk will make the dough sticky and not enough milk will make biscuits dry.
- Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and need 10 to 15 strokes.
- Roll or pat to 1/2" thick. Cut with floured biscuit cutter.
- Place on baking sheet about an inch apart for crusty sides or let biscuits touch for soft sides.
- Bake on lightly greased pan for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove immediately from cookie sheet.
