Scale

  • 1 TBS. baking powder (3 TBS)
  • 2 tsp. sugar (2 TBS)
  • 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar ( 1–1/2 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Stir together dry ingredients.
  2. Cut in shortening until mixture is coarse crumbs.
  3. Make a well in the center, and pour in the milk.
  4. Stir until dough clings together.
  5. Knead gently for 10-12 strokes. Do not over knead or it will become tough.
  6. Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out with 2.5 inch biscuit cutter (or drinking glass).
  7. I mixed mine in the food processor.
  8. It came out too sticky to knead or roll and cut.
