Ingredients

  • teaspoon double-acting baking powder

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cream together the shortening and sugar.
  3. Mix in eggs and beat well.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  5. Add flour mixture to shortening mixture in thirds. After each third, add 1/4 cup of the milk and mix well. Dough will be soft.
  6. Put dough on well-floured surface and knead in just enough additional flour so it can be rolled.
