Bread: Homemade Canned Frozen Biscuits
Source of Recipe
unknown
List of Ingredients
Save old frozen orange juice or lemonade cans (the
kind that contain
the concentrate); remove both ends and wash well. You
use both the big
cans and the smaller ones. Use the can to cut your
biscuits (be sure
to flour the top of the dough before cutting!), and
after each cut,
gently slide the dough up into the cylinder so that
you can cut the
next one. When the can is full, wrap tightly in foil,
and freeze. Be
sure to label. To bake, either push them all out, or
peel away the
paper can, place on a lightly greased baking sheet,
without thawing,
and bake at 400F for 15 - 20 minutes, or until nicely
browned.
5 C flour
1/2 C sugar
1 T (heaping) baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 C shortening (Note: lard yields a better biscuit!)
1 package (2 tsp) active dry yeast
1/4 C warm water
2 C buttermilk
Sift dry ingredients, cut in shortening or lard.
Dissolve yeast in
warm water and add with buttermilk to dry ingredients.
Mix well.
Roll out 1/4" thick, cut with saved juice can OR
biscuit cutter. Bake
on lightly greased cookie sheet at 400F for 15-20
minutes or until
nicely browned.
This is really a nice way to prepare ahead of time for
all those
holiday guests & all the last minute baking.
