Ingredients:

- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup milk
Recipe Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 425°F. |
| 2 | Sift dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. |
| 3 | Measure shortening and cut into flour mixture using a pastry blender, two knives, or a blending fork, until the mixture resembles “meal.” |
| 4 | Stir in almost all of the milk. |
| 5 | If the dough seems stiff, gradually add the remaining milk, using just enough to make a soft, puffy dough that is easy to roll out. |
| 6 | Knead quickly on a lightly floured board (avoid overhandling to prevent tough biscuits). |
| 7 | Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness for thin, crusty biscuits or 1/2-inch thickness for thicker biscuits. |
| 8 | Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet, positioning them close together for softer-sided biscuits or an inch apart for biscuits with crusty sides. |
| 9 | Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. |
