Instructions: Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening (using pastry blender or knives) until mixture is like cornmeal. Stir in milk. Dough will be sticky. Turn out on floured board and knead about 15 times. Flatten to about 1" thick and cut with biscuit cutter (Granny used a glass!) about 2" in diameter. Brush of excess flour and bake on ungreased sheet (I use my pizza stone) at 425 for 12-15 minutes, or until browned. Usually makes 8-10 large biscuits.

This recipe can be made up to 24 hours ahead. After kneading the dough, wrap in foil coated with cooking spray or flour and refrigerate. Remove from fridge when needed and cut biscuits and bake per directions.
