Reen's Biscuits a.k.a Tastes of Home's Fluffy Biscuits
This recipe is so good that Mom is replacing her tried-and-true baking powder biscuit recipe with this one!

2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
3 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening (margarine works best)
1 egg
2/3 cup milk

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

Turn onto a well-floured surface; knead 20 times. Roll to 3/4-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

Most times I will make this recipe times one and a half so I end up with around 18 biscuits -- lots of leftover for the next day!
