Homemade Biscuts- YUM

While my family were serving as missionaries in Saltillo, Mexico, we were privileged to meet wonderful people from all around the United States. I would cook 3 meals a day for a week for the groups of 12-40 people. This one sweet man named Bob from Jonesboro, Arkansas came to me and said I would love to make homemade biscuits for you tomorrow. I said YEAH! They were fabulous.

 I want to share them with you. Slap these babies in a camping dutch oven to cook and it will be a little touch of heaven.

Sour Cream Biscuits

2 cups all purpose unbleached flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cold butter

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup dairy sour cream

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees or prepare your open flame and coals.

2. Measure flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir these ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Stir together milk and sour cream in a separate bowl until smooth. Make a well in your dry ingredients and add the milk mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough sticks together.

4. Using your hands, push sticky dough onto a floured surface. Prepare hands with flour as well and work dough gently 8 times until dough holds together.

5. I pat dough but you can roll dough if you like to the thickness you prefer. Then cut with a knife or ruler into squares or use a cookie or biscuit cutter.

6. Depending what you are cooking in, place on a ungreased cookie sheet leaving about 1 inch between the biscuits and insert into an oven or place in a circular cake pan and place into a dutch oven and place over white coals. 

7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot. Makes 10 biscuits.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
