WHEN I was growing up, Mother made these wonderful biscuits often. Some time ago, I consulted her box of old recipes and was delighted to find this childhood favorite. Now these warm and tender biscuits are a special treat for my family, too. -Catherine Yoder, Bertha, Minnesota Ingredients:

2 tablespoons sugar |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 egg |
