Freezer Biscuits

Several years ago, my sister and I went down to Houston to visit Aunt Martha. She's a gem. Love her dearly. She always makes the best food (which is ALWAYS healthy). One of her specialities is biscuits and gravy in the morning. Wow. Hadn't even had that until I went down there. Her biscuits were the best ever. Seriously so good with her preserves. Anyway, I asked her about them and she just giggled, as only Aunt Martha can do, and proceeded to tell me that they were Pillsbury freezer biscuits. WHAT?! I promptly became I fan of the freezer aisle at my Harmon's. I eat them pretty much every Saturday or Sunday morning with some hashbrowns.

Moving on, I recieved this recipe over my email from the FACS teachers across the state. Its for homemade freezer biscuits. Yippee!
4 cups flour
2 tbs baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
16 oz sour cream
3 tsp water

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in butter until small well blended mixture. Add sour cream and water. Mix well. Knead and roll out into 1 inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter or glass. Flash freeze on cookie sheet. When frozen solid, place in freezer bag to store.
When ready to use, place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 425 for 15-17 minutes or until top is golden brown. Makes 12 biscuits.
