Note:  these are approximations, as grandma used to keep a large bowl of the flour and when she wanted to make the biscuits (which was just almost every meal) she would round out a hole in the center of the flour with her hand, scoop the "right" amount of crisco based upon the number of biscuits she was planning to make with her hand, and then pour in the milk as she started to mix in the hole - she knew she had the right amount based on consistency.
