Biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 c shortening

3/4 c water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Let preheat for at least 10 minutes. A hotter oven results in taller, more golden biscuits.

Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Cut in shortening until well incorporated.

Mix in water, then knead until dough comes together.

Roll to 1/2 inch thick. Use a circle cutter to cut the biscuits.

Place the biscuits on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 500 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until browned on top.

Enjoy!
