I got this recipe from a neighbor-lady when I was a young farm wife on the plains of Kansas. It has never failed me, and is still one of my most requested recipes. I usually double it, and even triple it for big family breakfasts. I mix mine in a big wooden bowl.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening (butter-flavored Crisco)
3/4 cup milk

Directions

1
Heat oven to 475 degrees.
2
Sift together flour, baking powder, and the salt.
3
Cut in the shortening until coarse.
4
Add milk. Blend lightly until moistened and it pulls away from the bowl.
5
Knead for a minute or so until the dough is soft and looks a little like bread dough. Let it rest for a few minutes.
6
Roll out on a floured surface to about 3/4 inch thick (or thicker if you like).
7
Place on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
