4 cups flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup shortening (I like Butter Flavored Crisco)
1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the shortening until small pea sized pieces are mixed in. Add the milk a little at a time and use a wooden spoon to mix it together. Stir until just combined and dough is a little sticky, but holding together. Do not overmix the dough! Roll it out on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin to one inch thick and cut the circles. You can use a cookie cutter, a canning lid, or any other item that will make the circle the size you want. I go old school and use a drinking glass, the way my grandma always used to! Bake on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet at 450 degrees for 8-12 minutes.
