2 cups all-purpose flour4 teaspoons baking powder1 tablespoon sugar1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup shortening1 large egg, room temperature2/3 cup 2% milk

Preheat oven to 400°. In a bowl, whisk together first 4 ingredients. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together egg and milk. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Dough will be wet.
On a well-floured surface, knead dough gently 8-10 times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Serve warm.
