Here is the FIRST recipe using the homemade baking mix that I posted the other day!

Homemade Biscuits! 

It may be obvious to a few of you but it wasn’t to me until I was mixing up the ingredients for the biscuits one day and I was like “Hey these are the same ingredients I used for my baking mix recipe!”

I know, I know, sometimes it takes me a minute or two. Well, maybe even ten:)

Anywho…these biscuits are quick to make because you already have the base of the mix done. You will just need to add a little bit of milk and give it a gentle stir.

Here’s a secret that I just learned a short time ago. Flour a clean (obviously) towel to roll out your dough and IT WILL NOT STICK! Is that insanely awesome or what? If you’re like me, you hate to roll out your homemade biscuits so you just pat the dough a little. Yes, I take short cuts.

Cut out the desired size biscuits, place them on an ungreased baking sheet, using your thumb make a small indent in the middle of each biscuit (this helps them to cook evenly) and brush with a little bit of milk (this makes them brown nicely).

See?

Ain’t they purty? They tasted good too:)

Note: You can stop before you brush the tops with milk and freeze them. After they are frozen place them in a freezer bag. Then when you are ready for some already made homemade biscuits you can pull the desired amount out of the freezer, brush with a little milk and cook for about 18 minutes @ 425 degrees.

Homemade Biscuits

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Total Time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups homemade baking mix
  • ¾ cup milk, plus more for brushing tops of biscuits
  • flour, for dusting towel and biscuits

Instructions

  1. Measure baking mix into a bowl.
  2. Stir in milk until just combined. The dough shouldn’t be too wet or too dry but a little sticky.
  3. Dust a towel with a little bit of flour.
  4. Pour dough onto floured towel and sprinkle the top of dough with a little more flour.
  5. Pat dough out to desired thickness.
  6. Cut dough using a floured biscuit cutter or the mouth of a floured small glass jar.
  7. Gently push uncut dough together and continue cutting biscuits until all dough has been used.
  8. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Using your thumb make a slight imprint in the middle of each biscuit.
  10. Lightly brush tops of biscuits with milk.
  11. Bake @ 425° for 12 minutes if using a dark non-stick pan or until lightly browned on top. If using a lighter pan you made need to add a couple more minutes to cooking time.

Notes

You can stop before you brush the tops with milk and freeze the biscuits. After they are frozen place them in a freezer bag. Then when you are ready for some already made homemade biscuits you can pull the desired amount out of the freezer, brush with a little milk and cook from frozen for about 18-20 minutes @ 425 degrees.
