¼ cup sugar
⅓ cup shortening

2. Cut or rub in shortening until it is as fine as coarse corn meal.
3. Add the combined milk and lemon juice, stirring quickly to form a soft dough.
4. Turn onto a lightly floured board. Knead slightly.
5. Form dough into balls about the size of marbles. Place 3 balls in each muffin tin. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake in hot oven.
