Southern Style Biscuits

	2 cups flour
	2 heaping teaspoons baking powder
	1 teaspoon sugar
	1 cup vegetable shortening
	1 cup milk

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, and sugar.
3. Add shortening and rub in with your fingers or use a pastry blender. Combine until mixture is crumbly.
4. Add a little bit of milk at first and then add the rest. The dough should be sticky.
5. Turn dough out onto a floured board. Don't work the dough too much. Pat the dough out gently. Cut the biscuits using a round cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet.
