Grandmother Markley's Biscuits
------------------------------

3 c. flour
5 t. baking powder
1-1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. butter-flavor shortening
1-1/2 c. milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.  Cut shortening into flour
mixture so that mix resembles small pebbles.  Add milk and mix just 
until blended.  DO NOT OVERMIX!

Place on floured board and pat out to 1/2" thickness.  With floured cutter,
cut into biscuits and place on greased baking sheet.  Bake 12-15 minutes,
or until biscuits are lightly browned on top.

Makes approximately 9 biscuits.
