Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a pastry cutter
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Stir together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, cream of tartar and sage in a medium bowl.
  3. Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk so the dough comes together.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and use hands to press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
  6. Cut out the circles with a biscuit cutter or glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter.
  7. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
