TEA BISCUIT

2 cups bread flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 to 2 tablespoons shortening
¾ cup milk

Method—Sift the dry ingredients together, mix in fat with the tips of fingers, then add the milk a little at a time or cut it in with a knife. The dough should be as soft as can be easily handled. Roll lightly until one inch thick, cut in rounds and bake in a hot oven for 15 or 20 minutes..
