J.P.'S BIG DADDY BISCUITS



J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits image

This recipe will produce the biggest biscuits in the history of the world! Serve these gems with butter, preserves, honey, gravy or they can also be used as dinner rolls...you get the picture. The dough can also be prepared several hours, and up to a day ahead of time. If so, turn dough out onto aluminum foil that has been either floured, lightly buttered or lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Roll up foil until it is sealed, and refrigerate. Don't be surprised if your biscuits rise even higher because the baking powder has had more time to act in the dough. You may have to make a few batches before you get desired results: desired results equals huge mongo biscuits.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 96 cookies, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb powdered sugar
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup chopped pecans
1 lb vanilla wafer, crushed
1 lb shredded coconut, divided into two portions

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients EXCEPT half of the coconut. Mix thoroughly.
  • Shape into one inch balls.
  • Roll balls in remaining coconut.
  • Store on waxed paper lined cookie sheet in refrigerator.
  • Chill several hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create a flaky biscuit. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for 15 minutes before using it.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits to rise evenly. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits to rise quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the biscuits.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaking the biscuits will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Uncle John's Moon Rock Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of flaky, golden brown biscuits that are perfect for any occasion. Follow these tips to ensure that your biscuits turn out perfect every time.
