Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients together until well combined.

  3. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

  5. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for 15 to 20 times.

  6. Pat or roll the dough out to a thickness of 1 inch.

  7. Use a large cutter or a juice glass dipped in flour to cut out the biscuits.

  8. Place the biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet, brushing off any excess flour.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits begin to brown.

  10. Enjoy!

  11. If you want to prepare the biscuits ahead of time, transfer the mixed dough onto floured or lightly buttered aluminum foil, or foil lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Roll up the foil to seal it, and refrigerate the dough. The biscuits may rise even higher when baked, due to the extra time for the baking powder to act in the dough.
