Instructions: Combine the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening as you would do for pie dough to achieve a crumb texture. Mix vanilla and milk. Gradually stir liquids into flour mixture to produce a soft dough . Knead briefly on a lightly floured surface . Roll or pat dough out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out with biscuit cutter and bake 450F for 12 to 15 minutes or done. These are nice for breakfast with butter and jam or could even be used as a dessert biscuit. The number of biscuits you get are dependent on how large or small your biscuit cutter is.These freeze well . Enjoy!
