Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut shortening into flour mixture so that mix resembles small pebbles. Add milk and mix just until blended. DO NOT OVERMIX!

Place on floured board and pat out to 1/2" thickness. With floured cutter, cut into biscuits and place on greased baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until biscuits are lightly browned on top.

Makes approximately 9 biscuits.

NOTES : These always come out extra-fluffy and tender, and everyone raves about them!
