Sky-High Biscuits ~ by Sarah

These came from my Pioneer Cookbook.  They are really good and I like how they have whole wheat flour in them.

Ingredients:
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
4 1/2 t. baking powder
2 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
3/4 t. cream of tarter
3/4 c. margarine
1 egg, beaten
1 c. milk

Directions:
Combine flours, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cream of tarter.  Cut in margarine until crumbly.  Add egg and milk, stirring quickly and briefly.  Knead lightly on floured board.  Roll or pat gently to 1-inch thickness.  Cut into biscuits.  Bake at 450 for 12 to 15 minutes.
