Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup butter, cold and cubed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
Directions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cream of tartar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined and moistened.

- Bake: Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
