• 11. Serve hot with butter, apple butter, jellies, jams, honey, or anything else that you like.
• 12. Special Note: I didn't have a biscuit cutter, so what I did was open both ends of a 4-ounce sized mushroom can, washed and removed the label and it works perfectly.

OLD FASHIONED BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425*F Prepare baking sheet with liner or non-stick foil and set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder & cream of tartar. Mix well. Toss in cubed butter. I like to take my stick of butter (3/4 cup) and cut it length wise, then turn it on it's side and cut it lengthwise again. You'll have 4 long pieces now. Then slice it and crumble butter into flour mixture. Using a pasty blender or forks, mix butter into flour. Don't over due it. You want to still see chunks of butter so don't mix it so well that you don't see them. In a small bowl, combine milk and egg - mix well. Add milk mixture into butter mixture and mix well. Spread additional flour onto a counter. Put biscuit mixture onto flour surface. Sprinkle biscuit dough with flour and roll out until 3/4 - 1 inch thick. You should see chunks of butter still in dough. Using the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and transfer to a prepared cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
