Drop Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbs. baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup milk

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Measure flour, baking powder and salt into bowl. Cut in shortening thoroughly, until mixture looks like meal. Stir in milk. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

I got this from my Betty Crocker cook book and use this recipe all the time when serving soup. It is quick and easy to make. Just a word of warning. Shortening can go bad if it sits in your cupboard for a long time. Smell it to make sure it isn't old.
