Combine the self-rising flour and shortening and mash the shortening into pea-sized pieces with a fork. In a large cup, microwave the milk for 1 minute or until it is lukewarm. Pour the milk into the flour + shortening and mix until the dough comes together. Add some more flour into the dough until the dough forms a ball.
Heavily flour a flat surface then roll out your dough. (It should be about 1/2-3/4 inches thick.) Then, using a biscuit cutter or a small cup, cut out as many biscuits as you can out of the dough. Put them all side by side on a rock baking pan and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
When they are ready, pull the biscuits out of the oven and put about half a tablespoon of butter inside each biscuit. Enjoy with honey, syrup, gravy, or jam! <3
