Picky Palate's Buttery Cheddar-Garlic Biscuits

Picky Palate's biscuits are great, the only problem I had was they were a little salty.  The flavor is good, the texture was great, and the boys and I and Aaron really liked them.  We gave them a solid 8, because they were salty, and we will have them again.
We made 8 biscuits, and each biscuit was 228 calories.

Here's what to do:
1 1/4 c flour
2 T baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 t cream of tartar
1/4 t garlic salt
8 T unsalted butter, diced
3/4 c cheddar cheese
3/4 c buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 450 and grease a large baking sheet.  Add the flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, and garlic salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.  Cut in the butter, then stir in the cheddar and buttermilk, stirring until just combined.  Press dough to 1/2 in ch thickness.  Cut out 8 biscuits and cook for 10-12 minutes.
