Biscuits

Biscuits
(adapted from a recipe from Taste of Home's website)

4 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. sugar
1 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 stick butter
1 egg
2/3 c. milk


In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking poweder, sugar & salt.  Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients until just moistened.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; roll to 3/4" thickness; cut with pizza cutter (or use a circle biscuit cutter).  I opt for ease so I use the pizza cutter. :o)

To Freeze: Lay biscuits flat on baking sheet or cutting board and place in freezer to "flash freeze."  Once frozen, remove biscuits and store in Freezer Ziploc bag.


To Serve:  No thaw needed.  Place on greased baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes at 400*F.

Options:

• To make Garlic/Cheddar biscuits, divide dough in half and to one half add 1/2 c. shredded cheddar and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder.
  
• You can use 2 c. all-purpose flour instead of 1 c. white & 1 c. wheat 
  
• You can also use a 1/2 c. shortening instead of butter or margarine
