Work shortening into dry ingredients with the fingers.
Add rasinins to flour-fat mixture and mix thoroughly (you may omit raisins).
Add milk to mixture. (If you are omitting the raisins, add another 2 Tablespoons of milk).
Turn out on to a floured board and divide into two equal pieces.
Roll or pat each into a round and to the thickness of biscuits (3/4 inch to a full inch).
Cut into wedge shaped pieces like a pie and bake about 15 minutes at 450 degrees on an ungreased baking sheet.
