Combine flours, baking powder, and salt, and stir mixture
well. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until
mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk, stirring until
dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a
lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 8 to 10 times.
Roll biscuit dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut dough with a
2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Yield: 2 dozen.

NOTE: Biscuits may be frozen. To freeze, place uncooked
biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet; cover and freeze
until firm. Transfer frozen biscuits to plastic bags. To
bake, place frozen biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet;
bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 23 minutes.
