MOM'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS



Mom's Baking Powder Biscuits image

This is the recipe my mom always made. I like to use the butter flavored shortening, but you can use regular. Amount of biscuits you get depends on how big around you make them and the thickness. My daughter likes me to make smaller ones.
