Cinnamon-Apple Biscuits

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 475u00b0.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Do not overblend, overblending fat produces a mealy, rather than flaky tender biscuits.

4. 4

   Mix in apple, cinnamon, sugar and pecans.

5. 5

   Gently push mixture to edges of bowl, making a well in center.

6. 6

   Using a fork, blend in just enough milk so dough pulls away from sides of bowl.

7. 7

   Too much milk makes dough hard to handle; too little makes dry biscuits.

8. 8

   Do not overmix.
