Baking Powder Biscuts

I made these for breakfast with butter and jam. They were a yummy treat and fast! They would be also good with soup.

Stir together:
2 cups Flour
1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
2 Tsp. sugar
1/2 Tsp. Cream of Tartar
1/4 Tsp. Salt

Cut in the flour a 1/2 cup of butter or shortening. (I used the butter)
Cut in until coarse crumbs appear
Make a well in the center of the flour and add 2/3 cup of milk and mix until the dough is moist.
Turn dough on a lightly floured surface and quickly knead till nearly smooth. Pat out the dough lightly until a 1/2 inch thick.
Cut dough with a 2 inch cutter ( I just used one of my glasses)
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake a 450 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
