How to make best ever biscuits

• In medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Mix well to distribute the baking powder and the salt.
• Using a pastry blender or fork, cut shortening into flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gently push the flour-shortening mixture against the sides of the bowl, making a well in the center.
• Pour the milk into the well all at once. Using a fork, stir just until the mixture follows the fork around the bowl and forms soft dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 10 to 12 strokes.
• On the lightly floured surface, pat the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Sprinkle a little flour over dough.
• Cut biscuit dough with a 2 1/2 inch round biscuit cutter, pressing the cutter straight down.
• Pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle and cut into squares or triangles using a sharp knife.
• Using a metal spatula, carefully transfer the cut biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet.
• Reroll scraps of dough and cut into biscuit shapes. Try to cut out as many biscuits as possible from a single rolling of dough.
• Bake biscuits in 450 degrees F oven 10 to 12 minutes or until biscuits are golden.
