2 cups all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1-¹/₂ cups milk

¹/₃ cup vegetable shortening

¹/₃ cup butter

2 large eggs, room temperature

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

In a medium bowl, add milk, shortening, and butter. If you do not have shortening, replace it with another ¹/₃ cup of butter (total ²/₃ cup butter). Microwave until butter is nearly all melted.

Stir in the flour mixture until well mixed.

Add the eggs and mix. Do not over beat the eggs.
