I got this recipe from a neighbor-lady when I was a young farm wife on the plains of Kansas. It has never failed me, and is still one of my most requested recipes. I usually double it, and even triple it for big family breakfasts. I mix mine in a big wooden bowl. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup shortening (butter-flavored crisco) |
3/4 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 475 degrees.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and the salt.
3. Cut in the shortening until coarse.
4. Add milk. Blend lightly until moistened and it pulls away from the bowl.
5. Knead for a minute or so until the dough is soft and looks a little like bread dough. Let it rest for a few minutes.
6. Roll out on a floured surface to about 3/4 inch thick (or thicker if you like).
7. Place on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
