    Create a floured surface for kneading the dough. A counter-top with wax paper is perfect; spread a liberal amount of flour over it.

    Add shortening. Use a pastry blender (good) or your fingers (better) to cut in your butter, shortening, or margarine, and continue until the mixture looks like course bread crumbs. Do not over-mix! The flakiness you're looking for will elude you if you do.

    Rest the dough. Place the dough ball onto your floured surface, and let it rest for about 5 minutes. When ready, knead dough gently about 10 times; flatten out the ball with your palms and fold it back in on itself.

    Roll out the dough. Depending on how thick you like your biscuits, roll the dough out to about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick using either a roller or your hands.

    Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Dust the biscuit cutter in flour first for best results. Do not twist biscuit cutter when cutting out the biscuits; go down straight and come up straight. It's all right if they don't look perfect.

Tips

    This recipe will freeze well; line a baking sheet with wax paper and when you cut out your biscuits, place them on the sheet and freeze them, making sure to keep them level. Once they are frozen, place in a freezer bag and bake them any time.
    Use butter-flavored Crisco for a richer taste.
    Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
    You can use cold butter instead of shortening. The taste will be slightly different but still delicious.
    Place the biscuits close together when you bake them for softer biscuits.
    Use just enough milk to make a soft dough. Too much milk will make the dough too soft to cut out. These can still be baked with tasty results; they are called "drop biscuits."
