• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Cut in the shortening (I used a food processor for this).
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and gently pour in water.
• With a wooden spoon, stir until all ingredients are combined. Dough will be slightly flaky and not sticking together very well. That's okay!
• Turn out dough (and dough bits) onto a lightly floured surface and knead just until dough bits are bonded together and dough is pliable enough to roll out.
• Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough no thicker than a quarter inch. Try to get it at thin as possible.
• Cut circles, or any shape you like, and place onto a lightly greased cookie sheet (or use a Silpat, which is what I did).
• Poke holes into dough with forks or anything pokey (I used the little spikes on a cornholder to poke mine).
• Bake for 15 minutes, until edges are golden brown.

My Notes: 

• This was my particular method of baking the "biscuits." There are several different methods and outcomes to be found online, so feel free to experiment. 
• The addition of herbs, sea salt, or Parmesan might be nice.
• These would be great for a kid with a sick tummy, especially if you cut them into fun shapes. I'm going to save this recipe for just that purpose!
