With a knife or pastry cutter cut the shortening into the flour. Keep cutting in until shortening is in pieces the size of large peas.
Add: 1 Cup milk (Start with less maybe about 3/4 cup. It sometimes doesn’t take that much. I think it depends on the humidity in the air, but I don’t know.)

Mix in mixer until smooth, then add beaten eggs, mix and add more flour. Continue adding flour. Dough will be very sticky. If you think it is too sticky add just 2 Tablespoons more flour.
