| Baking Powder Biscuits | |||||||
| 2 cups flour 4 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. cream of tartar 1/2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. sugar 1/2 cup fat (butter, shortening or lard) 3/4 cup milk |
|||||||
| Sift the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt and sugar together into a mixing bowl. Work the fat into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a hollow in the center, pour in the milk and stir. The mixture should hold together but not be too dry. Gently knead the dough a few times. Pat or roll out on the lightly floured board to a thickness of 2/3 inch. Cut with a round cutter (or edge of an empty tin can). Bake at 475F for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 16 to 20 biscuits. |
