Makes 6 small biscuits (Double to make 10 – 12 biscuits)
1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup milk (I have always used whole milk; I don't know if reduced fat milk would work as well.)
1. Preheat the oven to 450˚.
2. Stir the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt together in a medium bowl.
3. Pour the olive oil and milk into the dry ingredients and stir just until it comes together.
4. Put the dough on a lightly floured board and knead gently just 10 or 12 times.
5. Form the dough into a ball, and then flatten it so it’s about ½ inch thick.
6. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 6 pieces.
7. Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until golden. (I found it took just a bit longer in my toaster oven – about 14 minutes.)
8. Serve warm with good butter.
