Heat 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup shortening, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tsp. salt just till warm, stirring occasionally to melt shortening. Add to dry mixture in bowl. Add 3 eggs. Beat on a low speed with electric mixer for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat at high speed for 3 minutes. By hand, stir in 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour to make soft dough.
