Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup milk
Combine all DRY ingredients. If your butter isn't soft, cut it into thin slices right into the dry ingredients. If butter is soft, just add to dry ingredients and mix in. To work in unsoftened butter, use clean hands to scoop up flour mixture and butter pieces and gently rub between hands, slowly working the butter and flour mixture together. Repeat until mixture is a crumbly texture, then add milk and mix together with a fork. Don't overwork the dough (it's okay if there are crumbs in the bottom of the bowl still). Pour dough onto a clean counter and roll out with a rolling pin to about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch thickness. Use a cup or round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Place onto an UNGREASED cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden-brown on top. Serve with butter and honey :)
