How to make it

  • Set oven to 450
  • Grease a baking sheet generously.
  • In a medium sized bowl; mix your flour, baking powder, tartar, salt and sugar.
  • Cut in the butter/margarine into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
  • In a seperate cup or bowl, beat the egg lightly into the milk.
  • Add the mixed liquid to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the dough JUST holds together.
  • Onto a floured board or counter, turn the dough out and knead lightly.
  • Roll the dough out with a floured rolling pin into a slab that is one inch thick. Remember to work quickly so the butter or margarine stays cool.
  • Cut with a biscuit cutter.
  • Bake 12 minutes.

    These are better than regular baking soda biscuits.

    I'll have to try these next time I make biscuits and gravy - sounds like the perfect biscuit for topping the gravy with (and a lot of jam, for me)...thank you for sharing your family's recipe!
