This recipe is from the 1968 Type 1 owners manual.
 Ingredients
2 cups Flour
½ tsp Salt
4 tsp Baking powder
2 tbl Shortening
¾ cup Milk or milk and water mixed about
Requirements:
- A very soft dough, so soft as to be almost sticky.
- Very little handling because manipulation destroys their lightness.
- A very quick oven. If "biscuits" are not allowed to touch each other
in the pan, they will be lighter and more delicate than when placed close
together.
Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients; rub in the shortening as lightly as possible
with fingers until just blended.
- Have milk as cold as possible, mix with flour to form a soft dough.
Mix with a flexible knife rather than a spoon, as the steel blade is
colder than a spoon and also because the knife cuts and mixes more
thoroughly.
- Turn out onto a well-floured board; pat to 3/4" thick.
- Cut into rounds; put on a baking pan, being sure they do not touch.
- Bake at 425 degrees 12-14 minutes.
- Eat in your Type 1 while you are waiting to go off the fast idle and
drive to work.
