Drop Biscuits

Is there anyone who doesn't love biscuits? Maybe just the cook, who has done all the rolling out and cutting of them. Which is why I prefer this recipe. None of that extra time and mess is required! Just drop onto a baking sheet and voila!

½ c shortening

2 c flour (all white, all whole wheat, or half and half)

1 tb sugar

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 c milk

Heat oven to 450F.

Cut shortening into dry ingredients with pastry blender or two table knives, until mixture resembles fine crumbs. 

Stir in milk, then drop dough by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet and bake about 12 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet.
