Beaten Biscuits

Method

1. I

   Sift dry ingredients together, blend in shortening and just enough milk to make a very stiff dough.

2. II

   Knead on a floured board until dough becomes soft and pliable.

3. III

   Run dough through a meat grinder or a food processor using a coarse knife or beat steadily with a wooden potato masher for 30 minutes, or until dough blisters, keeping edges turned into the center.

4. IV

   Roll to 1/2" thickness, cut with a biscuit cutter, prick with a fork and bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until golden-ivory in color.
