Notes
I use a trans-fat free vegetable shortening.
No biscuit cutter? A clean, dry large soup can or medium drinking cup also works.
The more often you make these, the better you will get at judging the right consistency for the biscuit dough. They are wonderful with real butter, blackberry jam, molasses, or to "sop up" gravy.
