    2       c            All-purpose flour
    1       tb           Baking powder
    1       t            Salt
      1/3   c            Vegetable shortening
      3/4   c            Milk
    3       tb           Melted butter
      1/2   c            Firmly packed dark brown sug
      3/4   ts           Cinnamon
      1/2   c            Chopped pecans
 
   PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 450F. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a
   large mixing bowl. Cut in the vegetable shortening using a pastry blender
   or two knives until the mixture has the consistency of coarse crumbs. Add
   the milk, adding more milk if necessary so the dough is pliable but is
   still wet. Turn the dough onto a heavily floured surface, and knead it
   lightly (8 to 10 times). Do not overwork the dough. Roll the dough into a
   rectangle 1/3-inch thick. Mix the melted butter with the brown sugar,
   cinnamon and nuts. Press the mixture into one half of the dough, then fold
   the dough over to encase the filling, pressing it lightly to adhere. Cut
   out biscuits with a 2-inch round cutter (the diameter of a juice can),
   dipping the cutter in flour between cutting each biscuit so they do not
   stick. Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in the
   center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve
   immediately, or bake up to 2 hours in advance and reheat for 5 minutes in a
   300F oven. Makes 12 to 14. These biscuits are delicious served warm with
   sweet butter or apple butter.
