Basic Biscuits

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2. 2

   Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl; cut in the shortening with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Pour the milk into the flour mixture while stirring with a fork, and mix in the milk until the dough is soft, moist, and pulls away from the side of the bowl.

4. 4

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly, 5 to 7 times.

5. 5

   Roll the dough into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and cut out biscuits with a floured cookie cutter; press the unused dough together and repeat the rolling and cutting.

6. 6

   Place the biscuits on ungreased baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
