Old-Fashioned Biscuits (as shown on Clabber Girl can)

Ingredients:

* 2 cups all-purpose flour (I used self rising flour)
* 2 1/2 teaspoons Clabber Girl Baking Powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/3 cup shortening(I used oil or liquid shortening if that's what ya wanna call it)
* 3/4 cup milk
* 1 tablespoon soft margarine or butter

Instructions:

In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just till moistened and dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl (dough will be sticky).

On a floured surface, lightly knead dough with floured hands for 30 seconds or till nearly smooth. Lightly roll dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping cutter into flour between cuts.

Place biscuits close together on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops with soft margarine. Bake in a 475° oven for 11 to 15 minutes or till golden brown. Serve warm.
