Ingredients
2cupsAll purpose flour
4tspbaking powder
1tsp salt
1/8tspground sage
1/4tsp dried thyme
1/4tspdried summer savoury
1/3cupvegetable shorteningButter may be substituted - keep cold

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450F.
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, baking powder, salt, and herbs. Mix well.
Using a pastry cutter, or two forks, cut in the shortening until finely incorporated. Then add milk and bring together into a dough. Turn out into a lightly floured surface and knead 8-10 times. If the dough is too dry you may have to add a little milk.
Flatten to about an inch thick with your hands or a rolling pin. Cut into rounds. Reshape scraps and flatten to cut out more rounds. Do this a maximum of two times or the dough will be too tough. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden. Cool on rack. For best results serve slightly warmed.
