1 ½ tsp. baking powder 1/3 C. milk
1/2 Tbsp. salt 1/2 C. shortening

2. Mix milk and water, and h eat to just below boiling.
3. Add milk/water mixture and shortening to flour mixture and knead with the dough hook in your KitchenAid mixer to a soft dough. Have your instructor check the dough to see if you have mixed it to the correct consistency.
4. Break into 20-24 balls. Let rest 10 minutes or more.
