Aunt Ellie’s Hot Biscuits Anytime

My sister Eleanor’s recipe for biscuits is quick, easy and so tasty that you will make it anytime!!!!

Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.  Cut in 1 cup shortening with a pastry blender (or fork) to a very fine consistency.  Keep in container with tight lid on shelf or in plastic bag in refrigerator. 

When ready to use:

Mix in 1/3 cup milk to every 1 cup of biscuit mix you use.  Roll dough on floured board and cut in shapes or just drop from a spoon.  (2 cups make about 8-10 biscuits dropped from tablespoon)

Cook on greased pan at 425° until lightly brown, about 8-10 minutes. 

This mix can also be used for pancakes, coffeecake, etc.
