Helen's Camp Biscuits

Leonard and Helen liked to go fishing and camping in Canada. I think
they went up by Wawa.
This recipe was given to me in approx 1985.

2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cups milk
31/4 teas baking powder
6 tbsp cold shortening
Sift flour, baking powder & salt together. Cut in shortening. Stir in milk quickly and knead lightly for a few seconds. Use as little flour as possible on board. Roll to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with
a floured 2 1/2 inch cutter. Cook in lightly greased hot skillet over
very low heat until biscuits are brown.
Underside will be brown and raised to height of one inch.
