BISCUITS WITH PANCAKE MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Mix together pancake mix and sugar.
• Cut in shortening until mix resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Add milk, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out on floured board (or wax paper) and knead about 10 times until dough is smooth and elastic.
• Let dough rest about 5 minutes.
• Roll out to 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick and cut with 2-1/4 inch biscuit cutter.
• Bake 8-12 minutes until done (keep an eye on them, they'll burn fast!).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Pour milk into flour mixture while stirring with a fork. Mix in milk until dough is soft, moist and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead dough briefly, 5 to 7 times. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and cut out biscuits with a floured cookie cutter. Press together unused dough and repeat rolling and cutting procedure.
• Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheets and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
