                    Ingredients
                    
                      1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 
                      1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 
                      2 1/2 tsp baking powder 
                      1/2 tsp salt 
                      1/3 cup shortening 
                      3/4 cup milk
  
                     
 
                     
                    
                      
                    Preparation
                    
                      Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt; stir well. Cut in 
                      shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. 
                      Sprinkle milk evenly over flour mixture, stirring just until dry 
                      ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured 
                      surface, and knead 10 to 12 times. Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness; 
                      cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on greased baking 
                      sheets. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes or until biscuits are lightly 
                      browned.
