Homemade Freezer Biscuits

Biscuits go great with all sorts of meals but who has the time to make the from scratch every time you crave them? With these prepared ahead frozen biscuits you'll have homemade biscuits on hand for every occasion.

Homemade Freezer Biscuits

Ingredients:
4 cups flour
2 Tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening or margarine  
(I use 1/2 cup each)
1 3/4 cup milk

Directions:
Mix dry ingredients together. Add in the shortening and mix until crumbly. (If you have one, you can use a KitchenAid or food processor to save time and effort). Add in the milk and mix until a ball forms.

Roll out onto a floured surface and cut into biscuits.

To Freeze: Freeze on a cookie sheet for 1-2 hours. Then remove and place in a airtight freezer bag.

To Bake: Pull the desired number of biscuits out and let thaw for 30 minutes to an hour. Bake at 450 degrees for 8-12 minutes. You can bake them straight from the freezer but they won’t rise much.

Makes 24 biscuits.
