Freezer Biscuits Recipe

I found a recipe online for Freezer Biscuits and decided I had to try them. I added wheat flour since we like it better, I used butter instead of shortening since I never have shortening around and I use the egg substitute (never seem to have eggs on hand either). They are very good!

Preparation Time: 15-30 minutes

Ingredients
1 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup milk
1 egg or 2 tbs water, 1 tbs oil and 1/2 tea baking powder

Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cream of tartar; mix well.
2. Cut in butter.
3. Stir in milk and egg until smooth.
4. Turn dough onto lightly floured board or cloth and knead 4 or 5 times.
5. Roll out dough and cut into biscuits.
6. Arrange biscuits on a cookie sheet, cover and freeze.
7. After they are frozen, transfer to and store them in a freezer bag.
8. Do not thaw to bake.
9. Bake in preheated 450 degree F oven for 15 minutes.

Makes 12 to 16 biscuits.
