Mile High Biscuits


Mile High Biscuits
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup 
sugar
4 teaspoons 
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon 
cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon 
salt
1/2 cup 
shortening
egg, beaten
1 1/4 cups 
milk


Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add egg and milk; mix until dough forms a ball.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead 10- 12 times, only.
Roll out to 3/4 inch, cut with floured cutter.
Place on lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake at 475 degrees for 12- 15 minutes or until light brown.
Knead dough as little as possible, or the biscuits will be tough.
