Mix and sift the dry ingredients. Rub in the shortening lightly, with the tips of the fingers. Add the milk gradually, mixing to a soft dough. The amount of milk may vary due to differences in the flour. Put the dough on to a board and roll out to about one third inch in thickness. Cut out, using a cutter three inches in diameter. Brush the tops with melted fat and place one biscuit on top of the other; bake in a hot oven. When baked, the shortcakes break open easily. Serve with fruit between the halves and on top.
