CLOUD BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Sift the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together into a bowl. Add the shortening and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together the egg and milk. Add it to the flour mixture and stir until it forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough approximately 20 times. Roll the dough out to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut the biscuits using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 10-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve the biscuits warm or let cool completely and store in an airtight container.
