• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.33 cups shortening or butter
• 1 cup milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2. 2

   Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

4. 4

   Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
