Crescent biscuits (same recipe as Basic Biscuits)

Make a pretty topping for your favorite brown meat stew or turkey pie. You don't need a special cutter, either!
2 cups sifted Gold Medal Flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
* Heat oven to 450. Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening finely. Stir in milk. Round up on lightly floured board. Knead lightly. Roll or pat out about 1/2" thick. Cut. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden. Makes 20.

Just cut out biscuit rounds as usual; then cut through half of round again. Place the rescents on top of hot stew and bake in a very hot oven (450 degree) 12 to 15 minutes. Store the leftover oval biscuits in freezer and bake thenm mornings later for a breakfast treat.
