Cinnamon Stack Biscuits

2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. sugar

Stir together and then cut in 1/2 cup shortening or butter with a pastry blender to make course crumbs.

Add 2/3 cup milk

Stir until mixture forms a ball. Turn onto lightly floured board or clean floured counter. Knead gently 4-5 times. Roll dough into a 10 X 16 inch rectangle. Brush with 1/4 cup melted margerine or butter.

Sprinkle with mixture of 1/4 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp. cinnamon.



Cut into squares 1-2 inches in size. (I use a pizza cutter.) Stack 3-5 squares together, cut side down (squares are standing up on their sides, vertically) into greased muffin tin. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
