Instructions: Sift dry ingredients together into bowl. With pastry blender or two knives, cut in shortening and peanut butter until mixture is crumbly. Make a well in the center of the mixture, pour in milk and stir only until soft dough is formed. Knead gently on lightly floured pastry cloth for about 30 seconds. Roll out or pat dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut into biscuits. Place on ungreased baking sheet, close together for soft sides, or about an inch apart for crusty sides. Bake in a very hot 450 F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Variation: For Drop Biscuits, increase milk to 1 cup and drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Bake as for regular biscuits.
