Old-Fashioned Biscuits (as shown on Clabber Girl can)

Makes about 8

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons Clabber Girl Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon soft margarine or butter

Instructions:

In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, Clabber Girl Baking Powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just till moistened and dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl (dough will be sticky).

On a floured surface, lightly knead dough with floured hands for 30 seconds or till nearly smooth. Lightly roll dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping cutter into flour between cuts.

Place biscuits close together on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops with soft margarine. Bake in a 475° oven for 11 to 15 minutes or till golden brown. Serve warm.

Makes about 8 - 10 biscuits
