Betty's Biscuits Supreme is a classic American breakfast dish that has been enjoyed for generations. These light and fluffy biscuits are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, and can be enjoyed with butter, jam, or honey. Shortening is used to give these biscuits their flaky texture, which is a staple ingredient in many Southern biscuits. These biscuits are easy to make and require only a few ingredients, making them a perfect option for a busy morning.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, and sugar.
3.	Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4.	Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk, stirring until just combined.
5.	Knead the dough on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes.
6.	Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out the biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
7.	Place the biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
