Here's a little more about Beverly and her wonderful cooking:

Hi,
I have been cooking since I was a young child, I remember my grandma putting a milk crate near the stove so I could reach while she taught me her cooking secrets. I always loved her and I've always loved cooking. I am 60 years old now and have grandchildren of my own and I still love to cook and I love to try new recipes. I have made cook-books with my recipes in them for my children and I hope some day my grandchildren will remember me fondly for always having a good humor and good food as I do my grandmother.
Thanks Bev!

Beverly's Baking Powder Biscuits

What you need:

• 2 C Flour
• 1 T Baking powder
• 1/2 t Salt
• 1/3 C Shortening
• 2/3 C Milk

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender, and add the milk, blending quickly, just until dry ingredients are moistened. A sticky dough will result.
3. Turn the dough out on a floured board. Flour your hands and knead the dough 3 or 4 times. Important: Do not overhandle dough. Roll or pat to a 1/2-inch thickness.
4. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
5. For soft-sided biscuits,
   place close together on a lightly greased baking sheet or in a lightly greased cast iron skillet (vegetable cooking spray works just fine).
6. For biscuits that are crusty all around,
   place about an inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
   
   Bake at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
   Makes a dozen biscuits.
