Simple Biscuit Dough

Sift one teaspoon of salt and two (rounding) of baking powder through one quart of flour and rub into the whole one heaping tablespoon of shortening. In the centre pour gradually one pint of sweet milk, or part milk and part water, making a soft dough with as little mixing as possible. Roll out; cut and bake quickly.
