Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper and lightly spraying with butter-flavored cooking spray.

Place flours, soda, salt and cream of tartar in a mediumsized bowl. Stir to incorporate.

With a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in butter until the mixture resembles crumbs.

Add enough milk to form a stiff dough.

Turn out the dough on a floured surface, and knead until firm. Pat into a rectangle. Fold the dough over in thirds and pat down again until the dough is approximately ½-inch thick. Repeat folding and patting.

Cut biscuits out with a biscuit cutter. Place on the prepared baking sheet, and bake until golden on top, approximately 15 minutes. Tip: If a biscuit cutter is not available, use the top of a floured drinking glass.

Makes 10 to 12 regularly sized biscuits or six larger biscuits.
