NEVER FAIL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse oatmeal. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until dough begins to pull together then turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Press dough together and then roll out until 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch round biscuits and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until golden.

NO-FAIL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Mix flour, sugar, bk powder, cream of tartar, salt and soda in a bowl. Mix well.
• Then add shortening by hand and then milk.
• Knead well. Cut out ( I use a small tomatoe paste can with bottom cut out) and place on greased cookie sheet ( I use partchment paper or stone).
• Bake at 400 for 20 minutes ( sometimes on a hot day will only be 15 minutes).
• I have used my kitchenaid mixer with dough hook and they have turned out ok.

NEVER FAIL BISCUITS

Steps:

• mix dry ingredients.
• cut in butter.
• beat egg and milk slightly in separate bowl.
• milk together.
• kneed on floured surface.
• roll till desired thickness.
• cut out with a glass or cookie cutter.
• bake 350 for till golden brown.

NEVER-FAIL YEAST BISCUITS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in water, set aside.
• Mix dry ingredients in order given, then cut in shortening until it's the size of small beans.
• Stir in the buttermilk and yeast mixture. Dough will be very sticky.
• Cover bowl with towel and let sit until ready to use. (At least 1 hour, but it is fine if it sits for a couple hours.)
• Scrape out onto well floured board. Flip the dough over and knead or fold lightly (4-6 times).
• Roll out about 1/2" thickness and cut with sharp biscuit cutter. (Cutting with a dull cutter or water glass "seals" the dough and won't let the biscuit rise as they should.)
• Place on lightly greased baking sheet and let raise slightly (10-30 minutes).
• Bake at 400º F until light brown, 10-12 minutes.

MILE HIGH BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425*F.
• Blend dry ingredients together in large bowl.
• Keep butter in refrigerator until required. Slice butter into 4 or 5 thin sections and place over flour mixture. Cut butter in with a pastry cutter, until butter clumps are the size of corn niblets.
• Pour milk into small bowl; add egg and whisk gently until blended.
• Make a hollow in centre of flour/butter mixture and pour in milk/egg. Using a large mixing spoon, quickly blend all ingredients until a rough ball of dough is formed. The secret is to blend well, but not NOT over-work the dough. (I sometimes will just use my hands once I get CLOSE to forming.).
• Pick the ball up in your hands and gently work the dough with 4-5 hand motions to achieve a well-formed ball.
• Place the ball on a lightly floured surface and roll out with a lightly floured rolling pin until about 3/4 to 1 inch thickness.
• Cut biscuits to desired size with a SHARP biscuit cutter. This is another key to a biscuit that will rise nicely with a good shape. Never twist while cutting, but cut straight down in one movement, otherwise you will 'pinch' the dough which interferes with rising.
• Place on un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 11-12 minutes. (Check for doneness at 11 minutes. Biscuits should be light gold.).
• Serve warm - they are yummiest when fresh out of the oven. Allow to cool completely on a rack before storing. These biscuits freeze well and are nice if re-heated gently in the oven (never in the microwave!).
• If you like cheese biscuits, go ahead and add 1/2 cup grated cheese before adding in the milk; chives too! ENJOY.
• NOTE: For a family member who is diabetic but loves biscuits, I modify this recipe to use some soy flour (about 1/3 of the amount) and substitute Splenda for the sugar.

NEVER FAIL GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Mix margarine and garlic till combined.
• Sprinkle as much italian herb as you want for the zest taste.
• Combine sugar into the mixture.
• Spread mixture on bread and put under hot grill for 5-10 minutes.
• Serve!

SKY-HIGH BISCUITS

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until crumble. Combine egg and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-15 times. Roll out to 1-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
