Directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a sheet pan with cooking spray.
2. 2. Sift flour once; measure in baking powder, baking soda and salt; sift again.
3. 3. Cut in shortening or butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until the flour resembles coarse sand or small pebbles.
4. 4. Add milk gradually, stirring until soft dough is formed. Turn out on slightly floured board and lightly "knead" for 30 seconds, enough to shape.
5. 5. Roll the dough out until it is 1/2 inch thick. Cut it with a two inch, floured, biscuit cutter. Place the rounds on the prepared sheet pan.
6. 6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes (some ovens vary).
