For SneakySnake (EDIT: Oops! That should have read 'Shel!') (but the rest of you guys can make it too..)

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening (I like butter flavored Crisco for this one)
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sift the dry stuff together
Cut in the shortening
add the liquids

Mix to combine but don't over mix.
Knead 2-3 times just to get it to hold together
Roll out to about 1/2 inch and cut with a floured biscuit cutter DO NOT TWIST!
Bake at 450° (230°c) for about 10-12 minutes

Makes about a dozen biscuits

Eat and enjoy!
