Homemade Biscuits

You can thank my "bible" which is my betty crocker book for this recipe~!!




2 cups flour
1 tbs baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter (I used country crock since it was already soft)
2/3 cup milk

In bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Cut in shortening and butter with pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center, add milk and stir JUST UNTIL DOUGH CLINGS TOGETHER. Do not over mix!


Knead on a floured service for about 8 strokes. Roll, cut and bake at 450 for 10 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter.

Makes 14 or so.
