Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
4 tsp, baking powder
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 tbl. sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 egg (beaten)

Tips:

Use cold butter: This will help to keep the biscuits flaky and light.
Grate the butter: This will help to distribute it evenly throughout the dough.
Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the biscuits from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
Serve the biscuits warm: Freshly baked biscuits are the best!

Freezer biscuits are a convenient and delicious way to enjoy homemade biscuits whenever you want them. With a little planning, you can have a batch of biscuits ready to bake in just a few minutes. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, freezer biscuits are sure to be a hit.
