3/8 cup water (combine cream and water to make 3/4 cup "milk"
substitute)
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Mix flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening thoroughly to
resemble "meal". Stir in almost all of the "milk". If dough is not pliable, add just
enough milk to make a puffy, easy to roll dough.
Make a ball of dough and place on lightly floured surface. Knead 20-25 times or about
one half minute. Roll out dough to about one half inch thickness. (Note, it takes a
little more effort since gluten is a "binder" - just roll harder). Cut with a floured
cutter (a glass rim will work fine) and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake
10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
