2 c. flour
4 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. cream of tartar
2 t. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
2/3 c. milk
Preheat oven to 450. Mix everything except shortening and milk. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or two criss-crossing knives until shortening is pea-size. Add milk - only stir enough to moisten everything (over-stirring will make for tough biscuits). Place dough on lightly floured surface and cut biscuits using the top side of a cup. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and cook for 10-12 minutes. Yields: 9 biscuits
Price Guesstimate: $2 (?) I honestly have no idea when it comes to small amounts of baking goods! Sorry!
Steph's Comments: These biscuits are flaky and easy. I got the recipe from my mom and they make a great and fast addition to meals - especially soups/stews! They also make a yummy meal if you want just cut them in half and add a fried egg and a slice of cheese - homemake Egg McMuffin! :)
