Best Homemade Biscuits Recipe

Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

I found this recipe in an Easter basket full of recipes in a (now closed) Indiana antique shop.

Steps 1 – 3 are clipped from somewhere with handwritten notes. “These are good. Best biscuits ever” is penned across the top of it. They are right!

Cut into pieces from some sort of printed material, handwritten comments assured that this recipe was indeed the "Best Biscuit Recipe Ever!"

I agree!

  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar

  7. Turn out onto lightly floured surface (I use a cutting board) and knead a few times.
