Instructions: Combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cream of tartar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles a cornmeal consistency. Add milk slowly, then the egg, stirring into a stiff dough. Knead five times. Roll out on a lightly floured board to a 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a 1 1/2 inch cutter. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 450 for 10-15 minutes, or freeze either before or after baking.
