Ingredients

4.0
4 tbsp Shortening, vegetable 0.5
0 1/2 cup sugar 2.0
2 cup white all purpose flour 2.0
2 tsp low sodium baking powder 0.5
0 1/2 tsp salt 10.0
10 tbsp fat free milk 0.5
0 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
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.
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.
Coat each biscuit with the rest of the milk; sprinkle with remaining sugar and cinnamon.
Arrange biscuits on a cooking spray coated baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
