Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 cups buttermilk baking mix
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast -- (1/4 oz)
1/3 cup shortening
1 C warm water -- (120 to 130F) (to 1 1/4C)
1/4 cup butter -- melted
I usually used a glass as a cutter so the biscuits are bigger than
average size, and I always baked some extras to send home with the
kids. They liked to split them and fill them with cheese or peanut
butter and strawberry jam.
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Serving size: 1 biscuit
In a large bowl, combine the baking mix, sugar and yeast. Cut in
shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough warm
water to form a soft and slightly sticky dough. Turn onto a floured
surface; knead gently 3-4 times.
Roll dough to 3/4" thickness; cut with a 2 1/2" round biscuit cutter.
Place on ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake
at 400F until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
