Preheat the oven to 450°.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles.

Make a well in the center and pour in the milk all at once.

Stir with a fork until the dough is mixed thoroughly and sticks mostly together in a soft ball.

Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until done.
