Holly Jolly Christmas Receipe Swap

I'm linking up to Fresh From the Farm's Christmas Receipe Swap. Here's my receipe for

Fluffy Biscuits

2 cups of all purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

3 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shortening

1 egg

2/3 cup milk

1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg with milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

2. Turn onto well-floured surface; knead 20 times. Roll to 3/4 in. thickness; cut with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
