No butter biscuits

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons shortening
2/3 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Grease a jelly roll pan with a little shortening.

Mix dry ingredients and cut in the shortening.

Add the milk and mix well.

You could roll out this dough and cut with a biscuit cutter…but so much fuss isn’t necessary.

Just break dough into 20 equal parts. Form each piece into a ball.

Then flatten each ball into a round that’s about ¼” thick.

Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until biscuits turn golden.

Serve with a dab of jelly, if you wish.
