baking.

Chocolate Biscuits-
2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar ( to taste )
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk
Combine the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening as you would do for pie
dough to achieve a crumb texture. Mix vanilla and milk. Gradually stir
liquids into flour mixture to produce a soft dough . Knead beiefly on a
lightly floured surface . Roll or pat dough out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out
with biscuit cutter and bake 450F for 12 to 15 minutes or done. These are
nice for breakfast with butter and jam or could even be used as a dessert
biscuit. The number of biscuits you get are dependent on how large or small
your biscuit cuttter is.These freeze well . Enjoy!
