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:
- Sift dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
- Cut in shortening.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 450°F, 10 minutes before biscuits are to go in the oven.
- Grease a pan.
- 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).
- Add enough milk to moisten lightly on a floured surface.
To Bake Biscuits:
- Roll out dough ½ inch thick for high biscuits, or ¼ inch thick for thin crusty ones.
- Cut with a biscuit cutter.
- Place on a pan and brush tops with melted butter or milk (warm).
- Space dough close together for soft biscuits, or 1 inch apart for crusty ones.
- Bake at 450°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
