## Ingredients

- ¼ cup shortening

- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk

## Instructions

1. Heat oven to **450°F**.
2. Cut shortening into flour.

## Notes

Rolling on a floured board and cutting rounds is optional. Drop biscuits are intentional here — less cleanup, still good biscuits.
