Lot of these breakfast sandwiches places around here seem to be pushing out unsweetened scones fronting like biscuits which ruins it for me.

Yeah, scones are too dry.
I liked this recipe because I thought that the cream of tartar as a catalyst is what gives you a more chewy texture w/ snickerdoodles and I like my biscuits to have that chewiness to them. Old fashioned buttermilk biscuits and stuff more break and crumble when you eat them - I prefer a little more dense and chewy. I think the logic works if your ingredients weren't purchased 3 Presidents ago...
