Mile High Biscuits
3 cups flour
4 � tsp baking powder
� tsp cream of tartar
� tsp salt

Combine dry ingredients. With pastry blender cut in butter until it resembles a coarse meal. Beat egg slightly and add to milk; add this to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the dough holds together. Turn dough out on a floured surface (wood cutting board or a pastry sheet) and knead. Roll out about �� to �� thick and cut into biscuits.
