Mom'S Baking Powder Biscuits

1. 1

   Place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar into a med. mixing bowl. Stir slightly with fork.

2. 2

   Add shortening and mix with pastry cutter, or I rub thru my hands, until shortening and flour mixture resemble small peas.

3. 3

   Add just enough water to form a dough. To much water will make a tough biscuit.

   Lay the biscuit dough out on a floured surface. you can roll the dough to 3/4 inch or I just pat it out to the desired thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter. Place on a heavily greased baking sheet.

5. 5
