SKY HIGH BISCUITS

Here is another recipe from my 1984 treasure trove (cleaning out the garage!).

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

4 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 tsp cream of tartar

3/4 cup butter or margarine

1 egg, beaten

1 cup milk

In a bowl combine the flours, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. 

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

Add egg and milk, stirring quickly and briefly. Knead lightly on floured board.

Roll or pat gently to 1-inch thickness. Cut into 1- to 2-inch biscuits. Place in a greased 10-inch iron skillet or on a 9-inch square pan. For crusty biscuits, separate on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.

Yield: Approximately 20 biscuits.

I believe this recipe card was from Great American Recipes.
