Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup 2% milk
1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat dough into a 10x4-in. rectangle. Cut rectangle lengthwise in half; cut crosswise to make 10 squares.
Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet; brush tops with egg. Bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Serve warm.
