    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2               Cups  all-purpose flour
    1         Tablespoon  baking powder
    1           Teaspoon  salt
    1         tablespoon  white sugar
       1/3           cup  shortening
    1                cup  milk

1..  Preheat oven to 425F (220C).

2.  In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, 
and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse 
meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

3.  Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or 
roll dough out to 1" thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice 
glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the 
excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 
for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.

NOTES : The dough can also be prepared several hours, and up to a day 
ahead of time. If so, turn dough out onto aluminum foil that has been 
either floured, lightly buttered or lightly sprayed with cooking 
spray. Roll up foil until it is sealed, and refrigerate. Don't be 
surprised if your biscuits rise even higher because the baking powder 
has had more time to act in the dough. You may have to make a few 
batches before you get desired results: desired results equals huge 
mongo biscuits."
