Grandma Pauline's Biscuits

I was going through my mom's recipe box the other day looking for a salad recipe I wanted and came upon many other good recipes. Pauline's Buscuits was one of those. I made them this morning and they were really quite easy to make and were delicious. Try it out next time you think to buy those pre-made biscuits.

Sift together:

2 cups flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Use a pastry cutter to add one stick of cold butter (cut into small squares) until it is blended to pea size. Add 2/3 cups milk (I had to add a little more) and blend with a fork until combined. Gently knead for 30 seconds on board. Roll out to 1/2'' thick and cut into biscuits. Bake on small ungreased cookie sheet at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Yields about 12 depending on biscuit size.
