Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease twelve 2-1/2 inch muffin cups; set aside. In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until mixture is moistened.

2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing it for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Divide dough in half. Roll each dough half into a 12x10-inch rectangle. In a small bowl stir together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the rectangles.

3. Cut each rectangle into five 12x2-inch strips. Stack the strips on top of each other; cut each into six 2-inch-square stacks. Place each stack, cut side down, in a prepared muffin cup. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
