The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (Originally Fisher Blend Flour)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons shortening
  • 2/3 cup milk

Instruction

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a fork or pastry knife until crumbly texture. Add milk; mix until just combined.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until completely mixed, about 1 minute. Divide into 2 equal pieces. Roll or pat each piece into a 3/4-inch round. Cut each round into 4 pieces. Arrange pieces on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Until lightly browned.
  • To serve as they do at the fair; split open but do not cut clear through. Fill with jam and close.
