Cheddar-Thyme Flaky Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar.

Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until it is the size of peas.

Make a well in the center of the mixture and measure the milk, cheese and thyme into the bowl.

Gently mix until a soft dough forms.

Roll or pat out on a floured surface to 3/4 inch thick.

Cut into circles and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms of the biscuits are golden brown.
