1/4 tsp.  cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup  (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
1/3 cup milk

Directions:

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Makes: 8 biscuits, or 4 servings, 2 biscuits each

PREHEAT oven to 450°F.

SIFT flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar and sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir with fork or spatula until soft dough forms.
