Ingredients
2 cups flour 2⁄3 cup milk 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1⁄4 cup shortening 1⁄3 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)Instructions
Cut shortening into flour until it makes pea-sized balls. Add milk and yogurt to mixture. Mix well. Knead until smooth. If mixture is too sticky, add a little more flour. Roll out on a floured surface to 1/2 inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. Remember, the biscuits will not rise. The thickness you roll them is the thickness they will be.
Notes
