This is my absolute favorite biscuit recipe. It is perfect with gravy for a good old fashioned Southern breakfast. You can add a little more sugar and use it for shortcake or add cheese and bacon for a delicious savory snack. This recipe also adapts very well to vegan applications (see the parenthesis for ingredient substitutions).
Seasonality: all year

1/4 cup whipping cream (or 1/4 cup additional soy milk)
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar.
- Then, rub the butter into the flour mixture using your hands until the flour has pea size chunks of butter in it.
