HOMEMADE BISCUITS!!!

The thought of myself making homemade biscuits makes me crack up. My quest for saving money and time has made me have the strongest desire to make everything from scratch.  We have chickens so we eat a lot of eggs.  We eat breakfast burritos and Egg and biscuits, boiled eggs, egg sandwiches and more! Once a week for breakfast we eat egg and biscuits. I didn't realize that you could freeze biscuits and eggs already cooked until my recent search! I made some uncooked biscuits and some cooked with eggs already made so on those rushed mornings we could grab, heat and go! 

This is the recipe I tried that seemed to work well for us. 

  • 1 1/4  cup All-purpose flour
  • 1  cup of bisquick 
  • 2 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar

Dairy

  • 6 tbsp Butter, unsalted, COLD and cubed 
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together and then add the buttermilk. 
  • Cut up the cold butter and toss it in. Mix it quickly and dump it out on a floured surface.  Only kneed THREE times. Do not over work. (I did this and it makes them dry and hard)
  • Cut the biscuits out with a cup or a circle cookie cutter. To freeze place on wax paper and then in a zip lock bag.  To cook after you freeze them Bake on 450 degrees for 20-22 minutes. 
  • To cook unfrozen  Bake on 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes. 
  • Makes 8-10 biscuits
