Ingredients & Directions
                
     2 c  Flour
     5 ts Baking powder
     1 ts Salt
   1/4 c  Shortening
     1 c  Milk
 Mix and sift the dry ingredients; rub in the shortening and mix with the
 milk to a soft, thick dough. Drop by spoonfuls onto a well-greased tin and
 bake in a quick oven (425) for about 15 minutes. These are best when made
 with butter and come out of the oven as thin, crusty biscuits rather than
 the thicker variety. Twelve biscuits. –Mary Leize Simons
