Tootie Bins (Pets-de-soeur)

My mom makes these biscuit type cookies that are to die for.  They are a family favorite!  YOUNG and OLD will devour them.
Here is her recipe.

4 cups of flour
8 tsp baking powder
2 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of shortening
2 cups of milk
Butter enough to spread on the dough.
Brown sugar enough to spread on the dough.

Mix dry ingredients together than add the shortening make a hole in the center than add the milk.

Mix well, then roll out the dough and spread the butter and brown sugar roll it up and cut and cook at 425 degrees for 13 minutes.

TIPS:  Do not work the dough too much.  The less you work it the better it will be.  When you place the biscuits on the cookie sheet place them close together.  The dough will rise, but if you spread it too far apart the pinwheel seperates and they become crunchy and not so good.
