RECIPE: Rolled Biscuits From 4-H Cooking 201, page 50 Yield: Ingredients Equipment 2 cups all-purpose flour Flour sifter 1 tablespoon baking powder Mixing bowl 3/4 teaspoon salt Measuring cups, dry and liquid 1/3 cup butter or margarine, chilled Measuring spoons 3/4 cup low-fat milk Pastry blender or fork Extra flour for kneading Baking sheet Biscuit or cookie cutter Order of Work 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 2. Sift flour once and then measure it. Add to mixing bowl. Add baking powder and salt. Stir. 3. Measure the fat and add to flour mixture. Cut the fat into the flour mixture with fork or pastry blender until well mixed. 4. Make a hole in the center of the flour mixture. Slowly add milk and stir, using just enough to make dough soft but not sticky. Stir just enough to wet the flour. 5. Sprinkle 3-4 tablespoons of flour on a clean, dry surface and spread the flour with your hand. Turn dough onto the floured surface. Knead dough a few times. To knead the dough, rub some flour onto your hands. Use the heel of your hand to push the dough away from you, and then fold it back over itself. Give the dough a little turn, push and turn again. Repeat 6-8 more times. Over-kneading the dough or adding too much flour will make the biscuits tough. 6. Roll or pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Dip the biscuit cutter into the flour. Use the biscuit cutter to cut the dough or cut it into 2-inch squares with a knife. Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gather the dough scraps and reshape. Cut biscuits and add to baking sheet. 7. Bake about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
