Back 2 Cups Sifted Flour
3 teas. Watkins Baking Powder
½ teas. Salt
5 Tbsp. Shortening
¾ Cup Milk
Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt and sift again. Add shortening and cut into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine meal. Add milk (amount depends on kind of flour used) and stir until flour is dampened and mixture forms a soft dough and follows the spoon about the mixing bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly one-half minute. Roll out ½ to ¾ inch thick and cut with a floured biscuit cutter. Arrange on baking sheet and bake in a 450 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. This will make 12 medium size biscuits.
