Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
TOPPING:

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10-12 times.
