Blueberry Biscuits

2 cupfuls of flour
4 teaspoonfuls of baking powder
4 tablespoonfuls of shortening
3/4 cupful of Blueberries
1/2 teaspoonful of salt
7/8 cupful of milk
3 tablespoonfuls of sugar

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the shortening with a fork, add the milk to make a soft dough, soft enough that the biscuits may be dropped. Slightly more milk than the 7/8 of a cupful may be needed, since flours vary. Wash the blerries and drain them thoroly. It is better if they are almost dry. Mix them with the sugar and sprinkle them with a little flour (less than a tablespoonful). Add to the biscuit dough. Mix thoroly but quickly. Drop by spoonfuls on greased baking sheets, or in muffin tins and bake in a hot oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
