Recipe for Freezer Biscuits

[Guest]

Hello,

Since frugality is not only about money, I came across this recipe

for Freezer biscuits that you make ahead, freeze and bake straight

from frozen. This would be a great time saver. Haven’t tried this

yet (speaking of time…..).

Freezer Biscuits

It’s very handy to have these in the freezer to bake at a moment’s

notice.

6 cup (1.5 L) all purpose flour

½ cup (125 mL) skim milk powder

¼ cup (60 mL) granulated sugar

¼ cup (60 mL) baking powder

2 tsp (10 mL) cream of tartar

2 tsp (10 mL) salt

1 ¼ cup (300 mL) cut up butter

1 ¾ cup (425 mL) water

Measure first 6 ingreditents into a larger bowl and stir well. Cut

in butter with pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add water. Stir until moistened enough to form a soft ball. Working

with ½ of the dough, turn out onto a slightly floured surface. Knead

8 to 10 times. Pat out dough to ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Cut using

round (3 inch/7 cm) cutter, pushing straight down. Gently rework

scraps and repeat with remaining ½ of dough. Makes 48 biscuits.

To bake, arrange frozen biscuits on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in

center of 400 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden.

To freeze: Arrange formed biscuits on a baking sheet, not touching.

Freeze uncovered for 2 hours. Remove biscuits to freezer bags and

label. Freeze for up to three months.
