How to Make Grandma Love's Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently stir in the cold milk and egg until just combined. Do not overmix!
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times.
  6. Pat or roll the dough to 1/2 to 3/4-inch thickness.
  7. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet. For crispier edges, space biscuits further apart; for softer biscuits, place them closer together.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
