Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- While oven is pre-heating, place ¼ cup butter in a 7x11 baking dish or 10†round skillet and place in oven to melt. (a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet really shines at creating the crispy edges, or use a glass baking dish for the prettiest job of browning).
- While the pan is in the oven blend flour, salt, cream of tartar, sugar, baking powder, and then cut in the remaining butter.
- Lightly beat 1 egg in 1 cup of milk before stirring it in the flour mixture.
- Remove the buttered pan from oven.
- Butter should be melted and just slightly browned.
- Do not knead the biscuits, but instead use a large cookie/ ice cream scoop to immediately scoop out balls of dough into the buttered pan.
- Biscuits should be nestled together somewhat tightly.
- Quickly place back into oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown.
