Baking Powder Biscuits

8 Cups flour
4 T Baking powder
2 t Salt
1 C Shortening
3 C Milk

Directions:
Combine dry ingredients. Cut in shortening with fingers until crumbly. Make a well; pour in milk in a pinwheel motion. Fluff with a fork, moistening all particles. Dump on a floured surface, DO NOT OVER KNEAD! Add enough flour so it doesn’t stick to surface. Dough should be thick. Cut out circles with a glass. DO NOT TWIST THE GLASS OR IT SEALS THE DOUGH AND IT WILL NOT RISE. PUSH STRAIGHT DOWN ONLY. Bake at 450 F for 8 – 10 minutes.
