For the past couple weeks my husband has been asking that I make biscuits for dinner. I was dreading, dreading, dreading this and put it off for a few weeks, until the requests became relentless. My mother in law had a recipe that I’d seen her whip together in record time so I thought perhaps, I could maybe do it in an hour. Well, I was so excited when these were ready to pop in the oven in 15 minutes flat! It was THAT quick and easy.
Mix together dry ingredients, then cut in shortening.
Mix in milk, knead until smooth.
Roll out dough.
Cut dough into circles. You can place two circles on top of one another so they pull apart nicely. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchement paper. Bake at 450 10 to 12 minutes.
