Baking Powder Biscuts

I just now realized that on my earlier post I called these Baking SODA Biscuits, which was incorrect.  :( These are in fact, Baking POWDER Biscuits!! :)  Since my oldest sons favorite breakfast is biscuits and gravy, I often follow a recipe for drop biscuits (since they are very fast and easy).  Today I thought I'd expand my horizon, put my big girl panites on and make the real deal!!! The boys were ever so impressed, which made me a very happy mommy/wifey! :) And we don't need to tell them, but these were just as fast and easy!!

INGREDIENTS:
2 C all-purpose flour
1 TBSP sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 C shortening
3/4 C milk

DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Mix all dry ingredients in a medium bowl.  Cut in shortening using pastry blender or criss-crossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs.  Stir in milk until dough leaves side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).  Place dough on lightly floured surface.  Knead lightly 10 times.  Roll 1/2 inch thick.  Cut with floured 2 1/4 inch round cutter.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet with sides touching.  Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve warm.
