Here is the recipe for the Biscuits:

Yield: 8

500 ml flour
15 ml baking powder 3 ml salt
15 ml sugar
80 ml shortening 200 ml milk 

Directions:

1.   Preheat oven to 375 F. 

2.   Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix to distribute evenly. 

3.   Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or fork until it resembles fine crumbs. 

4.   Make a “well” in the center of the mixture and add milk. 

5.   Mix with a fork until dough can be formed into a soft ball. 

6.   Pat down until about 1.5 cm thick. 

7.   Using a round cutter cut dough into 4 pieces. Roll into a ball again and pat down. Cut out 3 more biscuits. Roll remaining dough into a ball, pat down to make one more biscuit. 

8.   Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes. 

 

A few things I would like you to do:
