4t - Baking Power

1/2t - Cream of Tarter

2t - sugar

1/2C - Shortening

2/3C - Milk

Instructions:

Sift together the dry ingredients.  Blend in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk. Mix until dough follows fork around the bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently 1/2 minute. Pat or roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut 16 circles with a biscuit cutter.

Place fairly close together on the bottom of an un-greased Dutch oven.  Bake for 8 minutes with top and bottom heat.  Remove from bottom heat and bake for another 4 minutes with top heat only. When done remove from oven and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions:

Great served for breakfast under Creamed Sausage Gravy. Can also bake biscuits on top of Busy Day Stew similar to dumplings.

 Helpful Hint:

If you are going camping, place all dry ingredients in a large zip-lock plastic bag. When ready to make biscuits, add shortening to bag and seal. Mix dough by hand through the bag. Add milk and finish mixing. Remember to bring some extra flour in another bag to use when rolling out the biscuits.

Enjoy!
