Tender Egg Biscuits

These are really soft and tasty. Best if eaten the day they are made.

3 cups flour
4 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup cold butter or margarine
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten

Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Cut in butter or margarine until mixture is size of small peas. Stir in milk and egg. Knead once or twice on lightly flowered board. Roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, and bake at 450° on ungreased baking sheet for 10-12 minutes. Makes about a dozen biscuits.
