Biscuits

Recipe By : Ruth of Sylvia’s Restuarant
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:50
Categories : Breads Breakfast
Soul Food

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 cup shortening — Vegetable
– More for the pan
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 cups milk
4 eggs — large

1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 11 by 7 inch pan with
shortening.

2) Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until
blended. Make a well in the center of this dry mixture and add the milk, 1/2
cup shortening, and eggs. Mix the wet ingredients with your hands until the
eggs and milk are blended. (There will still be some lumps of shortening.)
Slowly work the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with your fingertips.
The finished dough should be soft but not sticky, so you may have to add a
little more flour if it seems too wet, or stop mixing before all the flour is
added if it seems too dry.

3) Turn the biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough
out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 3 1/2-inch rounds and place side by side on
the greased baking pan. (The biscuits should be touching but not
overlapping.) Reroll the dough as many times as necessary to cut all the
biscuits possible. Let the biscuits rest in a warm place 10 to 15 minutes (on
top of the warm oven is a good place).

4) Bake until the biscuits are deep golden brown and light to touch when you
pick one up, about 20 minutes. If some of the biscuits are browning more
quickly than others, rotate the pan after about 10 minutes. Break apart and
serve.

From: Jeanne Chappell

Someone requested a FF pasta recipe for the Atlas hand-cranked pasta machine.

I have had an Atlas for years and make FF pasta regularly. My recipe is very
simple:

2 1/2 C Semolina flour
1 container EggBeater (equivalent to 4 eggs)

Mix/Kneed, adding more flour as needed

I then rub my hands with olive oil and roll the ball of dough in my hands –
then place the ball of dough in a plastic baggie for 1 hour before rolling
dough in the pasta machine.
