Fluffy Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (280g) flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ cup (1 dL) vegetable shortening (butter-flavored Crisco works best)
• 2/3 (1 ½ dL) cup milk

Directions:

1. Grease a 8-inch cake pan or pie plate.
2. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, cream of tartar, and sugar in a bowl.
3. Cut the shortening into the flour with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Add the milk all at once and stir just until the dough forms a ball around a fork (don't over mix or you'll have tough biscuits).
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 14 times.
6.  Pat gently until 1 to 1 ½  inches thick.
7. Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass.
8. Place touching each other in the cake pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until slightly golden.
