Light and Easy Biscuits

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 4 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup Crisco
• 1 cup milk

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the Crisco until the mixture resembles coarse corn meal.
2. Add the milk and stir until blended.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly and place the dough to fit into the bottom of an ungreased 9 inch square pan. Cut through the dough into squares.
4. Bake at 425°F for 15 to 18 minutes. When baked, the biscuits will separate at the cut lines.
