Mix dry ingredients in order given; cut in shortening until the size of small Lima beans. Or use a Stand mixer with a pastry blade.

Scrape out onto well floured board.
Flip over and knead lightly (4-6 times).
Roll out and cut with biscuit cutter.
Place on greased pan and let raise slightly (10-30 minutes).
