                    Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                4 cups all-purpose flour  |  
                                                2 teaspoons cream of tartar  |  
                                                1 teaspoon baking soda  |  
                                                1 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/4 cup shortening  |  
                                                1 1/4 cups buttermilk  |  
                                                1 egg, beaten  |  
                                                2 teaspoons maple syrup  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Combine flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt; stir well. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. 2. Combine buttermilk, egg, and syrup; stir into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened. 3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a smooth ball. Press down with fingertips to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 4 equal pie-shaped pieces. Prick each with the tines of a fork. Place on greased and floured baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes.                              |
