Set out baking sheet. Preheat oven to 300 deg. Into medium sized mixing bowl sift together flour and sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Blend in enough milk to make a stiff dough. Onto lightly floured beard or pastry cloth turn out dough and knead 30 seconds. Run dough through coarse blade of food grinder 6 times, or beat 300 strokes with rolling pin. Dough should be slightly elastic, very smooth and blistered slightly under the surface. Roll out 1/4-inch thick. With a floured 1- or 1 Vi-inch biscuit cutter cut out biscuits. Place on baking sheet. Prick tops with fork. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, or until crisp and very lightly browned.
