Recipe - Quick Biscuits

2 cup Flour
5 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
One fourth cup Shortening
1 cup Milk

Mix and sift the dry ingredients; rub in the shortening and mix with the
milk to a soft, thick dough. Drop by spoonfuls onto a wellgreased tin and
bake in a quick oven (425) for about 15 minutes. These are best when made
with butter and come out of the oven as thin, crusty biscuits rather than
the thicker variety. Twelve biscuits. Mary Leize Simons
