BASIC BISCUIT RECIPE
2 c!. self rising flour
1/4 c!. shortening
2/3 to 3/4 c!. milk
Preheat oven to 450 to 475 degrees!. Place flour in mixing bowl; add shortening!. With pastry blender or blending fork, cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs!.
Gently push the flour mixture to the edges of the bowl, making a well in the center!. Blend the milk with a fork until dough leaves sides of bowl!. Do not overmix!.

Transfer cut biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet!. For crusty sided biscuits, place biscuits about 1 inch apart!. For soft sided biscuits, place with sides just touching!.
Reroll scraps of dough and cut into biscuit shapes!. Bake in oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden!. If sides touch bake biscuits 8 minutes; bake 6 to 7 minutes if sides don't touch!.
