Instructions
Preparation and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cream of tartar.
- Use a pastry cutter to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg and milk, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and pat it out to about 3/4 to 1-inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Notes
For the best texture, use cold butter and avoid over-mixing the dough. Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
