Angel Biscuits (for freezer)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Freezer Meals Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold butter — *
1 cup buttermilk — * see note

Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set it aside. Put all the other dry ingre
dients, in the order that they are listed, in a bowl and mix. Then cut the but
ter into the mixture as you would for pie dough.

Pour the buttermilk and the yeast mixture in the bowl with the other ingredient
s, blending well but not overbeating.

Refridgerate until needed, then warm to room temperature to allow it to rise.

When you are ready, gently roll out the dough on a lightly floured board and cu
t, using a biscuit cutter or a small glass to cut our biscuits. Put them on a
greased pan and let them rise a bit (10 to 15 minutes) before popping them in a
n oven heated to 400ø for 12 to 15 minutes.

*For buttermilk I always substitute: 1 tablespoon of vinegar into a cup of ordi
nary milk and bring to room temp in the microwave. Works great!

*The original recipe calls for shortening but I don’t use it.

TWO TEAS WITH SAFFRON

Categories : Beverages Ceideburg 2

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
— ——–ARISTOCRATIC ICED
TEA——————-
8 c Boiling water (2 L)
1/2 ts Saffron Threads
Juice of 2 or 3 lemons
1 To 2 cups sugar (200 or
-400g)
Ice
—–BLACK SPICED TEA—–
12 Green cardamoms
8 ts Sugar
1/2 ts Saffron Threads
8 c Water (2L)
8 ts Black tea

Next time you get overwrought thinking of squid or
tofu, sit down to a nice steaming glass of the
following and compose yerself…

ARISTOCRATIC ICED TEA:

It is the color of Chartreuse (which is also tinted
with saffron). At least 4 hours prior to serving, pour
boiling water over threads.

Just before serving, add juice, sugar and ice cubes.
Threads may be left in or strained out.

Makes 40 servings.

BLACK SPICED TEA:

Chef Ashok Rajput of the Nataraja Restaurant (Palo
Alto, Ca.) made this tea for me while demonstrating
how to make Indian-style ice cream with cardamom,
pistachios, and saffron. I thought I had found heaven
between sipping the delicate, slightly sweet, aromatic
tea and tasting the custard of the freshly made kulfi.

This tea is called Qahwa in Kashmir where India’s
4,000 acres of saffron fields are. It is also served
in the Arab nations and Iran. I have seen recipes with
many other ingredients than the ones listed below, so
experiment also with green tea, rose water, fresh
ginger, almonds honey, cinnamon and milk.

Bring first four ingredients to a boil, then simmer
until liquid is reduced by half. Bring to a second
boil, add tea and steep to desired strength.
