BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

• 2 Cups sifter flour


• 2 Teaspoons baking powder


• ½ Teaspoon baking soda


• 1 Teaspoon salt


• ½ Teaspoon sugar


• ½ Cup soft butter


• ¾ Cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400F degrees.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Cut in the soft butter. Stir in the buttermilk. Turn mixture out onto a floured board and knead until well blended and smooth. (Do not knead too long or dough will get tough) Roll dough out to ¾ inch thick and cut in circles with a biscuit cutter. (If you do not have a biscuit cutter, use a glass or a jar lid) Bake for about 20 minutes or until light brown.

If you would like a light biscuit recipe, try the following.

BISCUIT RECIPE

• 2 Cups flour


• 1 Tablespoon sugar


• 4 ½ Teaspoons baking powder


• ½ Teaspoon salt


• ½ Teaspoon cream of tartar


• ½ Cup shortening (I use Crisco solid shortening)


• Milk to moisten

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in the shortening. Stir in enough milk to make soft dough, but dry enough to knead. Turn out on a floured board and knead until smooth. (But not too long) Roll out to about ¾ inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter.

BISCUIT MIX RECIPE

Commercially prepared biscuit mixes are easy to use and give good results. A homemade biscuit mix recipe works in the same way. It is easy to prepare and probably much more economical.

• 7 Cups flour


• 1 ½ Cups dry milk


• ¼ Cup baking powder


• 1 Tablespoon salt


• 1 Cup shortening (Crisco solid)

Combine the flour and dry milk in a bowl. Add baking powder and salt. Stir to blend. Cut in the shortening until crumbly. Put mix in clean, dry jars. Tighten lids on the jars and store on shelf.

NOTE: You can make mix with self rising flour. Just omit the baking powder and salt.

To mix biscuits:

Preheat oven to 400F degrees.

Put 2 cups of mix in a bowl and add 1 cup of water. Stir to mix. Dough should be soft. You may need to add a little water. Turn dough out on a floured board and knead the dough until smooth. Roll dough out to ½ inch thick. Cut biscuits with a cutter or glass. Place on a baking tray and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until light brown.
