   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered milk, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

2. Incorporate Shortening:

   • Add the shortening to the dry mix. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until well mixed. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.

3. Storage:

   • Transfer the biscuit mix to a freezer-safe plastic bag for long-term storage, where it can be kept for several months. Alternatively, store the mix in an airtight container or jar at room temperature for up to a month.

4. When Ready to Use:

   • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
   • In a separate bowl, combine the water and biscuit mix, adding just enough water to form a soft but not sticky dough. Stir until the mixture comes together.

5. Roll Out the Dough:

   • Lightly flour a clean work surface or a kitchen towel. Turn the biscuit dough out onto the floured surface.

6. Shape and Cut:

   • Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 3/4-inch. Use a glass or biscuit cutter to cut out individual biscuits from the dough.

7. Bake:

   • Place the cut biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each biscuit for expansion.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
   • Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite breakfast accompaniments.
   • This recipe yields approximately a dozen 2-inch biscuits, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
