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.
