Baking Powder Biscuits

Directions

• Sift together flour and baking powder.
• Stir in salt and sugar.
• Cut in the Crisco until the mixture resembles crumbs.
• Stir together eggs and milk.
• Make a well in the dry mixture and stir in the milk mixture with a fork.
• Stir just to moisten, then turn out onto a lightly floured board.
• Knead about 15 times, then pat lightly into a circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
• (The secret to light and fluffy biscuits is to handle the dough as little as possible) With a sharp round cutter, cut out rounds, without twisting the cutter.
• Just give it a sharp tap, then lift straight up (twisting the cutter causes the biscuits to slope over when they are baking) place on a baking sheet.
• Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve warm.
