2 C. self-rising flour
3 Tbsp. shortening
2/3 c. milk

Cut shortening into flour and add milk, a little at a time. Work dough with a heavy spoon. Roll dough about 1/3 of an inch thick and place on a cookie sheet. Mark 2 inch squares for lazy biscuits or leave plain for hoe cake. Bake in a 450° oven about 10 minutes or until brown.
