Miranda's Chopsticks |

*For my family I double this recipe*

2 c. all purpose flour

3 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1/2 c. shortening (I used butter)

3/4 to 1 c. milk

Heat oven to 450 (or 230 c). In large bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt and mix well. With pastry blender or fork cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stirring with a fork, add enough milk until mixture leaves sides of the bowl and forms a soft, moist dough.

On floured surface toss dough lightly until no longer sticky. Roll or press dough to 1/2 in thickness. Cut with floured cutter and place on ungreased cookie sheet. *You can also just make drop biscuits instead of rolling out the dough*.

Bake at 450 for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.

I like to make something special for a breakfast treat sometimes. I made these last weekend for a fall/halloween breakfast. They were so good! They hit the spot. I used buttermilk I made (milk & vinegar) instead of evaporated milk and also used butter instead of shortening.
