MASTER MIX (Part II of V)
Family Size Just for Two
Mix 3 cups 1 cup
Milk 2/3 cup 1/4 cup
Yield 18 2-inch 6 2-inch
Add milk to the Mix all at once, stirring 25 strokes. Knead 15
strokes on lightly floured board. Roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut.
Bake on baking sheet in a hot oven (450 degrees) 10 minutes.
Biscuit dough can be used in many ways. For variation grated
cheese, chopped parsley, chives or herbs blended with the dough lend
interest. This dough is rich enough for shortcake or for the top crust
of a chicken or meat pie. It will serve as the dough for a meat
roll — chopped meat bound together with gravy and spread over the
dough, then rolled as a jelly roll and cut before baking. This can be
served with gravy or with a cheese sauce.
The dough can be used as a covering in baked apple dumplings or for
the dough for a fruit or pinwheel roll. It can be dropped on top of hot
stewed fruit or berries and baked as a "cobbler."
Drop biscuits can be made from this recipe by increasing the milk to 1
cup for the family size recipe or to 1/3 cup for the "Just for Two" size
recipe.
