2 c. flour
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. salt
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 c. butter, cold
1 c. cold milk

Put first 5 ingredients into bowl. Stir thoroughly. Cut in butter until crumbly. Pour in milk. Stir quickly to combine. Dough should be soft. Turn out on lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8-10 times. Roll or pat 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick or half the thickness you want the baked product to be.

Cut with small round cookie cutter. Place on greased cookie sheet close together for soft sides or apart for crisp sides. Bake in 450 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. Brushing biscuits with milk before baking will produce a pretty brown top. Great with stew!
