Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter chilled and diced

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse oatmeal. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until dough begins to pull together then turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 3

Press dough together and then roll out until 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch round biscuits and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until golden.

You can also use 1/2 whole wheat flour and they are yummy!
