Dari-craft Biscuits
Week 46 of 52
Bread #7
With only four recipes left (Entree Meat/Fish, Dessert, Entree Vegetarian and Appetizer), plus the third drink, I can't believe I'm coming to the end of this Fifty-Two In Twenty-Two project. I've really enjoyed this project and have decided that I will have another recipe project next year. I'll let you all know what that will be, soon. This recipe is in a 1945 recipe booklet produced by "Producers Creamery Company". The brand of milk was Daricraft. I've not been good at making biscuits, so I thought I'd try making them (you need to be able to do basic recipes well) and long story short, although they tasted good, they were not fluffy biscuits. I'm pretty sure it was because I rolled the dough too thin. I also realized after the fact, that Daricraft is evaporated milk. I used regular milk. I enjoyed my thin little biscuits with butter and bacon jam, with some eggs. Although they were thin, they'd be good with sausage gravy or any other way pretty much that you'd enjoy biscuits. I do plan to try these again and hopefully I don't make them too thin. I'll also try using evaporated milk and see if that also makes a difference.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1/3 cup Daricraft (evaporated milk)
1/3 cup water
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Into a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening. Combine the evaporated milk and water and add slowly to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough can be handled, but is still soft. Knead quickly on a floured board and roll to 1/2 or 3/4 inch thickness. Cut biscuits out, placing on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. I managed to get 12 biscuits My apologies, I don't know how big the biscuit cutter I used was. That said, you can use whichever size you like.
