Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups all-purposed flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2/3 cup milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425
Mix dry ingredients in large mixing bowl
Work in shortening witha pastry blender until you have a fine, irregular mixture of small crumbs.
Add mik all at once and stir with fork until dough comes together.
Turn out on lightly floured surface and GENTLY knead dough no more than 12 or 14 times. This is the critical step. If you overknead you will develop the flour gluten and have tough biscuits.
Pat dough lightly until it is slightly more than 1/2 inch thick
At this point you can use a sharp knife and cut into squares or other shapes or use a 2 inch round cutter or empty can. If using round cutter, press scraps together and form a couple of extra biscuits.
Place at least one inch apart on ungreased baking or cookie sheet.
Bake for about 15 minutes until puffy and browned.
