1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin that holds 12 cups.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and blend in the milk. Slowly pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
