Quick and Easy Buttery Biscuits

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450°F. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   Add the milk and stir with a fork until a dough ball forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5-6 times.

3. 3

   Roll or pat the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2.5-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.

4. 4

   Bake for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown. Brush the baked biscuits with the remaining melted butter and serve warm.
