Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Enjoy! DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS Recipe Tip To prepare biscuits ahead of time, turn dough out onto aluminum foil that has been either floured, lightly buttered, or lightly coated with cooking spray. Roll up the foil until it is sealed, then refrigerate. Don't be surprised if your biscuits rise even higher because the baking powder has had more time to act in the dough.
