4 c. sifted flour 1/2 c margarine (1 stick)
2 tsp. salt 1-1/2 c. milk
2 tsp. baking soda
6 tsp. cream of tartar *
Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Cut in margarine as for pie crust. Add milk and mix. Dough should be quite soft and sticky. Pat out gently on floured baking cloth to 1/2" thickness. Cut with 2" biscuit cutter. Bake at 450 deg. about 12 minutes on top rack of oven, until golden brown. Remove from oven and split and butter immediately by placing slice of butter or margarine into biscuit and putting top back on. Keep hot until served.
* Can use just 6 tsp. baking powder instead of baking soda and cream of tartar.
NOTE: I line cookie sheet with aluminum foil, then put some margarine on pan and place into oven to melt while I am cutting the biscuits.
Then I put each biscuit on pan and turn over in the melted margarine, and position about 1" apart. This gives a delicious crunchy crust all around the biscuits.
