Light And Fluffy Baking Powder Biscuits

• 2 cups Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cups Shortening
• 3/4 cups Milk

1. Preheat oven to 450u0b0F.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender (or by pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk until dough leaves the side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
3. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a floured 2 to 2-1/4 inch round cutter. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart for crusty sides or touching for soft sides.
4. Bake 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
