Bulk Sausage Biscuits

Bulk Sausage Biscuits

Ingredients:
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1/3 cup shortening
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk (about)

Directions:
Heat oven to 450º. Cook sausage in 10-inch skillet over medium heat,
stirring frequently, until brown. Drain if necessary. Cool sausage
slightly; crumble.
Cut shortening into flour, baking powder and salt with pastry blender in
large bowl until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in sausage. Stir in
just enough milk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat.
Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2
1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie
sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from
cookie sheet. Serve hot. Refrigerate any remaining biscuits.
