2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk
1 egg

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cream of tartar; mix well. Cut in shortening. Stir in milk and egg until smooth.

Turn dough onto lightly floured board or cloth and knead 4 or 5 times. Roll out dough and cut into biscuits. Arrange biscuits on a cookie sheet, cover and freeze. After they are frozen, transfer to and store them in a freezer bag.
