In a mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Use the whisk attachment and mix for 1 minute.

Slowly cut in shortening and mix until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add the milk into mixture until dough pulls away from bowl. If dough has a "wet" consistency add a pinch of flour until you reach desired texture.

On a floured surface, pat or roll dough until it is about 1" thick. Use a glass to cut biscuits until all dough is used.

Place biscuits on ungreased cooking sheet. Bake at 425° for 12 to 14 minutes. Biscuits should be lightly golden when done.

Remove from oven, cool and enjoy!

Makes about 12-15 biscuits.
