This recipe makes 1 batch but I am going to put the x3 recipe in parenthesis because one batch is 10-12 rather small biscuits. These were so good and would be even better if you mix some shredded cheddar and garlic powder/diced garlic in the dough. This is a perfect bread for Ham, Bean, and Potato Soup.
To freeze: Stack raw biscuits with plastic wrap between layers, then place in freezer bag.
Baking day: Pre-heat oven to 450. Biscuits do not need to be thawed before baking. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour (6 cups)
- 1 TBS. baking powder (3 TBS)
- 2 tsp. sugar (2 TBS)
- 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar ( 1–1/2 tsp)
- 1/4 tsp. salt (3/4 tsp)
- 1/2 cup butter, chilled (1–1/2 cup)
- 2/3 cup milk (2 cup)
Instructions
- Stir together dry ingredients.
- Cut in shortening until mixture is coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center, and pour in the milk.
- Stir until dough clings together.
- Knead gently for 10-12 strokes. Do not over knead or it will become tough.
- Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out with 2.5 inch biscuit cutter (or drinking glass).
- I mixed mine in the food processor.
- It came out too sticky to knead or roll and cut.
- I made drop biscuits and they were perfect.
