Instructions:

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. 3. Add the milk and stir until the dough comes together.
  4. 4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  5. 5. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. 6. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
