"I USUALLY used a glass or baking powder can lid as a cutter so the biscuits would be 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."

20 10 30

Ingredients

  • 6 cups buttermilk baking mix
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 to 1-1/4 cups warm water (120° to 130°)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

  • 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-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. round biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: about 2 dozen.
