👨‍🍳 Instructions

Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat.

Mix in the sugar, stirring until dissolved.

Let cool until lukewarm.

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.

Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the milk, yeast mixture, shortening and 3 cups flour.

Add salt and rest of flour, or enough to make a soft dough.

Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise.

Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick.

Cut rounds with biscuit cutter, drinking glass, or empty tuna can.

Sprinkle waxed paper with cornmeal and set the rounds on this to rise.
