BUTTERMILK BISCUITS





1 pkg. piecrust mix (for 2 crust pie)


1 1/2 tsp. baking powder


1/8 tsp. baking soda


1/2 c. buttermilk or sour milk


Milk (optional)


1 tbsp. sugar (optional)


1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon (optional)





In a medium mixing bowl stir together piecrust mix, baking powder, and baking soda. Make a well in the center; add buttermilk or sour milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until dough clings together. (The dough will be sticky.)


On a well-floured surface, knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll or pat dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter into flour between cuts. For shiny crusts, brush tops of biscuits with milk. Stir together sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle atop of biscuits.





Transfer biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.





Makes 10 to 12 biscuits.








APPLESAUCE - WALNUT BISCUITS:

Go to Kraft's Canada .ca ,or try company's comings cook books They are also on line to.Both very easy and simple to use with great tasting results..
i just do... 1/3 cup oil, and 2/3 cup milk or buttermilk(whisked together)add to 2 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and a bit of salt.





have all the dry ingredients mixed in the bowl and sort of make hole in the middle. then pour in the milk/oil and mix with your hands. just form a ball and press with hands to about a good inch and a half thick, either use a cookie cutter or small glass to form. bake at 425 degrees for about 12 min. oh and put a little softened butter on the tops of them to brown. this makes about 8-9 biscuits.


they are truly homeade and good.
