Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 cup shortening

3/4 cup low-fat milk

3 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat oven 350 degrees:

Prepare 12 muffin cups:

In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder and cream of tartar.

Cut in the shortening until mixture is course 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.

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

Cut into 2 or 3 inch pieces and place in the muffin cups.

Bake for about 12-15 minutes.
