To make biscuits:
3 cups biscuit mix
3/4 - 1 cup ice water
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Each batch makes 10-12 2-inch biscuits
Place three cups of biscuit mix in a medium sized bowl. In a well in the center,
stir in almost all the ice water. Form a soft dough by briskly stirring with a
fork, adding reserved ice water if required. Gently knead on a lightly floured
board about 8 times - do not overwork dough. Roll or pat out to a thickness of 1/2
inch.
Cut into rounds (2 to 2 1/2 inches). Place on un-greased baking sheet and bake
until lightly golden brown - about 12 minutes. Brush generously with melted butter
or lightly with cream or milk before baking. Bake until lightly golden - about 10-
12 minutes. Serve hot.
These can also be patted into an 8 inch square baking pan or a 9 inch cast iron
pan. Bake until golden, then cut into squares.
