Cloud Baking Powder Biscuits

From our mom, Karen VanOrden

Mix together well:
2 cups flour 1 Tablespoon sugar 4 teaspoons Baking Powder ½ teaspoon salt

Cut ½ cup of shortening into dry ingredients until mixture resembles course crumbs.

Combine 1 beaten egg and 2/3 cups of milk. Add this to flour mixture all at once. Stir until dough follows a fork around the bowl. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and kneed slightly. (Don’t overwork) Roll out dough to about 1 inch thick and cut with a round biscuit cutter.

Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a very hot oven at 450 degrees for 10-14 minutes, depending on the size of biscuits. They are lightly browned when done.
