Biscuits Supreme / Biscuiti Supreme

Directions

1.  In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Cut in butter with a fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3.  With your hands, knead gently on a lightly floured surface for 10-12 strokes.

5.  Cook for 10-12 minutes in a medium-high oven or until slightly browned. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes.
