HOMEMADE BISCUITS for the freezer!

I have been so enjoying my Bosch mixer the past several months! Today I decided to try and double my biscuit recipe and work it so that I could use my Bosch to mix up the dough. It worked! Yeah! I got a couple dozen biscuits out of the double batch and they are in the freezer ready to bake when I need them! I thought I would share the recipe. This recipe is for the double batch (makes about 24 biscuits), but you could probably double that again and make a quadruple batch if you wanted.

Anyway...here is the recipe:

HOMEMADE BISCUITS!

Put in your Bosch mixer in the following order:

1/2 cup oil
4 teaspoons salt
4 Tablespoons sugar
10 teaspoons baking powder

Mix on Speed 1 until blended, then add:

2 cups milk
4 cups flour

Mix on Speed 1 until blended, then add:

1 cup milk
3 cups flour

Mix on Speed 1 and add up to one more cup of flour until dough is not too sticky, but not tough. Let mix thoroughly for a few minutes.

Divide dough into two balls and roll out to 1/2" thick on UNfloured countertop (when I make these the dough just sticks slightly to my countertop, but not using flour will help the biscuits to not get too dry). Cut and place on greased cookie sheet and *** bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. ***If you don't want to bake them now, but want to freeze them for later, see below!

TO STORE IN FREEZER: Place cut biscuits on greased cookie sheet and put in freezer until hard. Remove from cookie sheet and store in a Ziplock freezer bag. TO BAKE: Place frozen biscuits on greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until done.

It is fun to make food ahead in the freezer. It saves so much time in meal preparation and helps me a great deal in providing healthy meals for my family! Why not try this one! It is SO much cheaper than buying the ready-made frozen biscuits too!

Enjoy,
Sheri
