Got this recipe in high school home economics class. From my recipe notebook. 1964

These are especially good and tasty on a cold winter morning.

How to Make Baking Powder Biscuits OR Cinnamon Rolls

Step-by-Step

Mix and sift together in a bowl: flour, baking powder, salt
Cut butter into these ingredients with a pastry blender (or fork)
When butter is size of small peas add milk all at once
Toss with a fork until all flour is dampened.
Press into a ball working in all of the crumbs
Roll lightly to 1/2 inch thickness and cut with floured biscuit cutter (or empty can)
Place on greased pan and bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes
FOR CINNAMON ROLLS -- roll dough thinner, spread with soft butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon (can mix the b-sugar and cin. together first for more even coverage)
Roll up as for jelly roll, and cut in even slices
Bake in greased pan at 450 for 18-20 min
