• Mix all the dry ingredients together.
• Cut the margarine or shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly.
• Add the milk and egg and stir until well combined.
• Shape pieces of dough into 5-6 inch circles.
• They should be about 1/2 an inch thick.
• You then fry them in oil that comes atleast halfway up the side of the johnny bread.

• Drain on paper towels when done.
• Enjoy!
