Rachael's Cinnamon Biscuits

My friend Rachael served these super yummy Cinnamon Biscuits at playgroup today.  They are delicious and she says they are really fast and easy.

Rachael's Cinnamon Biscuits

2 c flour

3 TB sugar

4 t baking powder

1/2 t cream of tartar

1/2 t salt

1/2 c butter or margarine

2/3 c milk

 

Mix dry ingredients and cut in margarine. Mix milk - be sure mixture isn't too dry or too sticky. Spread on floured surface and roll out into about 1/2 inch thickness. Spread generously with soft margarine and then cover generously with cinnamon sugar mixture (I guess on the amounts - maybe 1 c sugar to 1 TB cinnamon?). carefully roll up and cut into slices (I use thread to cut - it works really well). I like to sprinkle a little more cin/sugar mixture on the top. Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes. Do NOT overcook.
