Baking Powder Biscuits

This recipe comes from my 7th grade Home and Career Skills (aka Home Ec) class.  This is the version I keep coming back to, it's tried and true and I've never had it go wrong.

2 cups sifted flour (I don't sift, just make sure the flour isn't packed)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
cut in finely: 1/4 cup shortening (I usually use butter)
Stir in to make a soft dough: 3/4 cup milk
Round up on lightly floured board.  Knead lightly about 30 seconds.  Roll out or pat out about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 450* for 10-12 minutes.
