How To Make baking powder biscuits

Step 1

In a large bowl; combine the four,sugar,baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Beat egg and milk, stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, ( I use wax paper or parchment paper) roll out to 1/2 inch thickness,cut with a floured biscuit cutter. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
