    • 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons white sugar
    • 🧂 4 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

STEPS

1

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt into a bowl.

3

Use a pastry cutter to chop vegetable shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4

Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl and slowly add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring as you pour, until dough is moistened and well-mixed. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits have risen and are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

💡 Do not roll out the dough too thin; keep it around 1/2 inch for fluffier biscuits.Use cold milk and shortening to achieve flakier biscuits.If you don't have a pastry cutter, use two knives in a criss-cross motion to achieve the same texture.
