| If you are out of bread to serve with dinner, you can have a batch of these on the table in 25 minutes from start to go. These are wonderful, cut in half, with butter melting on them.
Optional: if you have some fresh parsley to use up, toss about 2 to 3 tablespoons of chopped parsley in to make some nice savoury biscuits.

Directions
Cooking at: 425 F / 220 C / Gas Mark 7
Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening. Add milk -- if it looks like it won't take any more milk without getting gloopy, then don't add any more.
Turn out onto floured surface, roll out or pat out with your hands to a thickness of 1/2 " to 3/4 " (1 to 2 cm). At this point, you can either cut into squares or use a round biscuit cutter.
Don't knead or overhandle the dough or your biscuits will become hockey-pucks.
Bake about 12 minutes.
