Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup shortening
0.75 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease your baking sheet for easy biscuit removal.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the shortening or cold butter using two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the milk with a fork until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 times until smooth. Roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with milk, and let them rest for a few minutes.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven until they are golden brown on top, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
