2 c. all-purpose flour

1 tbsp. baking powder

1 tbsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 c. butter

3/4 c. whipping cream, light cream or milk

Quickly knead the dough by gently folding and pressing dough for 10-12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
4. Cut dough with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter into flour between cuts. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
