Recipe from Rosalind W. Noble

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening. Make a well. Add milk to make a soft batter. A fork is better than a spoon in mixing milk into flour mixture. Turn out on floured board and knead quickly about 8 times. Roll to 1/2 inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter and place on greased pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
