Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening or butter
- 2/3 cup milk
Instructions
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, cream of tartar, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
- Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it just a few times. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick and cut it into rounds.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
