Make Ahead, Freeze and Cook Biscuits image

Make a batch of these biscuits and freeze them until you are ready to bake. Cost less and taste better than the canned. I found this at HillbillyHousewife.com.

Time 30m

Yield 20 large, 30-35 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add shortening and cut with a fork or pastry cutter. Do not overmix. The shortening should resemble small peas.
  • Stir in buttermilk until the dough is soft. Knead dough 10 to 12 times only.
  • On a floured surface roll the dough 1" thick. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass. Use a larger circle for big size biscuits.
  • To freeze, place the biscuit dough on a large pan lined with waxed or parchment paper and freeze overnight. Once frozen, place in a large freezer bag and store in freezer until ready to cook.
  • To cook, take out the desired number of biscuits and place on a lightly greased baking sheet or pan. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes until golden brown.

These biscuits were a total flop. They were dense and crumbly, and they didn't taste very good.

The biscuits were easy to make, but they didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These biscuits were a little dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.
