• 3 cups All Purpose Flour (or 2 cups Regular Flour/1 cup Whole Wheat Flour)
• 4 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
• 2 tbsp. Sugar
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 3/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar
• 3/4 cup Butter or Margarine
• 1 Egg; beaten
• 1 cup Milk (Low or Non-fat are ok)

1. In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar.

2. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

A food processor works great for this.

3. Add egg and milk, stirring quickly and briefly. Knead lightly on floured board.

4. Roll or pat gently to 1-inch thickness. Cut 1-2 inch biscuits. Place in a greased cast iron skillet or in a square pan.

For crusty biscuits, separate on a cookie sheet.
