Flavorful biscuits that are creamy and sweet, cut in the classic Mexican style.

Servings

4 tbsp Shortening, vegetable
0.5 cup sugar , divided
2 cup white all purpose flour
2 tsp low sodium baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
10 tbsp fat free milk , divided (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2 Using an electric beater, blend together shortening and 6 tablespoons sugar. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Blend flour into shortening alternately with 1/2 cup milk.
3 Roll out dough on a floured surface and form a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Slice dough into 18 trapezoid shapes, 2 1/2 inches long by 1 1/2 inches long by 3 inches long. Slice out a small wedge of dough from the bottom middle of each piece to form pants.
4 Coat each biscuit with the rest of the milk; sprinkle with remaining sugar and cinnamon.
5 Arrange biscuits on a cooking spray coated baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

These can be cut into any shape you want; the "pants" shape is a classic Mexican shape.
