These are one of Carolyn's yummy biscuit recipes. They can be made ahead of time and this recipe can be halved.
5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
4 TB sugar (or 2 TB honey)
2 TB dry yeast
2 cups buttermilk
1 tsp soda
4 TB baking powder
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup warm water
Dissolve yeast in water. Sift dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Add yeast and buttermilk to dry ingredients. Mix. Knead lightly and quickly 20-30 times. Roll and cut on floured board. Lay on greased cookie sheet. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Let biscuits rise 10 minutes. Bake 10-15 minutes. If you want to bake only part of these, store the rest (covered in Saran wrap in the fridge a few days, then allow them to rise 20 minutes at room temperature before baking). Also they may be frozen ready-to-bake. Put in oven and turn it on to 400 degrees.
Family Recipe Collection
What's This About?
Food is such a wonderful thing! Not only does it sustain us, but it enriches our lives. How many times have you tasted a dish and it takes you back to another time and place-- one filled with cherished memories? How many times have you tried to recreate those memorable dishes to find that you can't remember all the ingredients or how they are suppose to intermingle?
This is a food project for my family. My intention is to shorten the distance between us all and share in making memories together. I want us all to add tried and true recipes from past and present generations. Please feel free to add any stories or thoughts to these recipes, too.
When this project is near completion, I hope to have a marvelous collection of recipes that bring us closer together as a family. We'll have an heirloom cookbook of recipes and stories we can pass onto future generations.
