Watch how to make this recipe.

Special equipment: a pastry cutter

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Stir together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, cream of tartar and sage in a medium bowl.

Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly.

Stir in the buttermilk so the dough comes together.

On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and use hands to press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

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.

Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
