Ingredients:





     1    Bag; (5 lb.) self-rising


          -flour


   3/4 c  Sugar


     2 pk (1 qt.) dried milk


 1 1/2 lb Lard


     6 c  Water






 Mix the first three ingredients well using a large shredder. Shred the


 shortening into the dry mix. Use a pastry blender and cut shortening into


 fine particles*. Add 6 cups water and stir - turn out on floured board (use


 part of dry mix as flour). Knead several times. Roll out 1/2-3/4 inch


 thickness. Cut out and place on ungreased cookie pan. Bake at 450 degrees


 for 15 minutes or until nicely browned - makes 5 dozen.


 


 This mixture can be made up and stored in large container. Measure out


 amount needed for biscuits, dumplings, etc., and add liquid as needed. The


 more moisture you can use the lighter your biscuits.
