2 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup crisco
2/3 cup milk
melted butter
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl. Use a spoon to "cut" small amounts of the crisco and place the crisco pieces into a mixer bowl. Beat the crisco 1 minute, scraping the bowl. Add the sifted dry ingredients and the milk to the crisco--beat until dough starts to stick to the beater(s). Don't overbeat. Dump dough onto floured board and sprinkle a little flour over the top of the dough. Knead the dough for 20 seconds. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/2" thick. Cut biscuit shapes with a 2" biscuit cutter or the top of a drinking glass. Place biscuits on a greased cookie sheet, and brush them with melted butter. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Serve hot.
