I got this recipe off a very old rusty
Magic Baking Powder can that we have here.

Sift once, then sift into bowl,

2 cups once-sifted pastry flour

(or 1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour),

4 tsp. Magic Baking Powder,

1/2 tsp salt

Cut in 3 to 5 Tbsp chilled shortening finely.

Add 2/3 cup milk and mix lightly.

Knead 10 seconds on lightly-floured baking board

and roll out to 3/4-inch thickness;

Shape with floured cutter

Arrange on greased pan.

Bake at 450 about 12 minutes.

Serve hot, yields 16 biscuits.
