--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       c            All purpose flour
   4       ts           Baking powder
   2       tb           Sugar
     1/2   ts           Cream of tartar
     1/2   ts           Salt
     1/2   c            Shortening
     2/3   c            Milk
   1                    Egg -- slightly beaten

  Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and
  salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make
  well in center of mix; add milk all at once. Stir until dough
  clings together. Knead gently on a floured surface for 10 to 12
  strokes. Roll or pat to a 1/2" thickness: cut with 2-1/2" biscuit
  cutter using straight motion. Do not rotate the cutter. This will
  cause biscuits to flatter than desired. Bake on un-greased baking
  sheet for 10 to 12 minutes at 450°F.
