Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ cup Butter, cold
- ¼ cup shortening
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients.
- Using a pastry blender or your hands, mix in the butter and shortening until coarse crumbs form. Create a well in the middle.
- Add buttermilk to the well and stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough ball forms. Knead the dough about 5 times, until it holds together without being sticky.
- Roll out on a floured surface, to about 3/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into circles with a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or the rim of a large glass. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden. Serve immediately.
