During the summer camp for Angelwood Children, I made some delicious biscuits for the staff and volunteers. Many of the older people remember these biscuits, but not the recipe. I found this in the newspaper several years ago, and now they are my favorite biscuits. It is like having yeast rolls and southern buttermilk biscuits in one.
Angel Biscuits
1 package yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup warm water (use your wrist and if it is luke warm, it is good)
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening (1 stick butter)
1 cup buttermilk
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water; set aside
Mix the dry ingredients in the order given, cutting in the shortening as you normally do for biscuits or pie dough.
Stir in the buttermilk and yeast mixture and mix thoroughly.
Now the dough is ready to refrigerate. (Up to three days)
When you are ready to use the dough, turn the dough out on a floured board and knead lightly.
Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter, placing them on a greased pan.
Let the dough rise slightly before baking in a 400 degree oven for 12 - 15 minutes.
These are great with fried chicken or chicken-fried steak, or any of those southern meals. How about for breakfast with orange marmalade or jelly.
Enjoy folks; hopefully I can come up with some more good recipes.
Until then.
