Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and grease a baking sheet .
- Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-size bowl.
- Work in the butter and shortening with a fork.
- Slowly mix in the milk until a soft dough is formed. Mix the dough by hand with a large wooden or plastic spoon. The dough is too stiff for most electric mixers and it's likely that you'll burn out the motor. Also, your biscuits should not be mixed until the dough is perfectly smooth. A few lumps are actually a good thing in this type of dough, so don't stress about getting it perfect.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured board.
- Pat the dough down until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into four to five equal-sized biscuits and place them on the greased pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

BISCUITS FOR 2 ( OR 4 )
As you know most biscuit recipes make anywhere from 8 to 12 biscuits. And some time that's just way too much for two ( or 4 ) people.While I was looking through my treasured 1996 Taste of Home Annual Recipes, I discovered this recipe that was sent into them by Sylvia McCoy of Lees Summit, Missouri. While making this recipe, I did make a couple of changes on the way that they were made. But, I don't think it affected the finished product.For higher biscuits, I double sifted the dry ingredients( I've always done that :) )If you have the above mentioned Cookbook,please check page 191 for the original recipe.I know this seems like alot of steps, but it's really easy. :)Submitted to " ZAAR " on October 6th, 2009
