 2 cups flour, stirred and measured
 3 teaspoons baking powder
 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 2 teaspoons sugar
 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
 2/3 cup milk
 
 
 In large mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add milk all at once; stir until dough follows fork around bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Pat or roll dough 1/2 inch thick; cut with biscuit cutter. Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 425 degrees F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 16 medium biscuits.
 Note: Leftover biscuits can be split, buttered, and toasted for another meal.
 
 Variation
 Rich Shortcake for Strawberries or Other Fruit: Increase sugar to 2 tablespoons; use butter or margarine in place of shortening; add 1 beaten egg to 1/2 cup milk; proceed as above. Split hot or cold shortcakes in half and serve with crushed sweetened strawberries and slightly sweetened whipped cream.
