Biscuit Mix

Yields: Undetermined

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder (B.P.)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp shortening
  • Milk OR melted butter OR milk (for brushing on top)

Instructions:

  1. Sift dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
  2. Cut in shortening.
  3. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F, 10 minutes before biscuits are to go in the oven.
  5. Grease a pan.
  6. For biscuits 2 to 2½ inches in diameter, use 1 cup of mix (once you melt it) (this phrase seems a bit unclear, it might refer to measuring the mix after it’s been moistened).
  7. Add enough milk to moisten lightly on a floured surface.

To Bake Biscuits:

  1. Roll out dough ½ inch thick for high biscuits, or ¼ inch thick for thin crusty ones.
  2. Cut with a biscuit cutter.
  3. Place on a pan and brush tops with melted butter or milk (warm).
  4. Space dough close together for soft biscuits, or 1 inch apart for crusty ones.
  5. Bake at 450°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
