I may have posted this one before but I cant find it and Baby Sister needs it.

100 year old Biscuit recipe

2 cups bread flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons butter or shortening
3/4 cup milk

Mix all dry ingredients together first. Then add butter or shortening....cutting it in with a pastry cutter or fork. You want your ingredients to be course and flaky before adding the milk. Add milk and stir till a ball forms. Transfer to a floured bread board and pat down to about 1 inch. Cut with a biscuit cutter. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can cut your dough into squares. Put into a lightly oiled pan or cast iron skillet with sides touching. Bake in a preheated oven at 375-400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
