- 2 cups flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cream of tarter
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking soda

- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tarter, sugar, and baking soda. Cut in butter shortening and then add the buttermilk. When dough is no longer sticky, roll out on floured surface. It should be about a half inch thick.
