Homemade biscuits: perfect for little helping hands

HOMEMADE BISCUITS
 
From start to finish this is a really simple recipe that kids
of all ages are able to help with
or for older kids even make on their own.
 
 
Ingredients : Yield 24 Biscuits
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup shortening or butter
  • 1 can of carnation milk        * can substitute for 1 3/4 cup milk
1. Mix dry ingredients together
 
2. Add in shortening or butter and mix until crumbly
 
3. Add milk and mix until a ball forms
 
4. Roll out on floured surface , it is easier for kids to work with if you break down the dough into smaller balls for them
 
5. Cut into biscuits, we use a glass its easy for kids to use and they like to hear the popping sound it makes
 
6. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-12 mins in a gas oven
                  450 degrees for 8-12 mins in a regular oven
 
Watching carefully in the last minutes.
 
To Freeze: place uncooked biscuits on a single layer baking sheet , freeze 1-2 hours then put them in a freezer bag. Let thaw about 30 mins before cooking them.
Recipe can be easily doubled.
