Instructions

6 steps

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Sift the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder together into a mixing bowl.

2
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk.
3
Add the shortening and use your hands to cut it into the flour while gradually incorporating the milk, working until the dough comes together and is thoroughly mixed. Add a splash more milk only if needed to form the dough.
4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 6 to 8 times.
5
Pat the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut into rounds with a floured biscuit cutter, placing them on an ungreased baking sheet.
6
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until risen and golden brown on top. Serve warm.
