Biscuits To Freeze Johnny Cashs Mothers Recipes

FREEZER BISCUITS. STRAIGHT FROM FREEZER TO OVEN!

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend together the flour, salt and baking powder.
• Pulse in the cold butter pieces. (or use a pastry cutter if you want)
• Do not over incorporate the butter into the flour. Similar to making a flaky pastry, small pieces of butter should be visible in the flour.
• Transfer this mixture from the food processor into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
• Pour in the buttermilk.Working very quickly with a wooden spoon, fold the dry mixture through the buttermilk, only until the flour disappears, then stop immediately.
• Drop the sticky dough onto a well floured counter top or bread board.
• Sprinkle the top of the dough with additional flour as well as flouring your hands to handle the dough.
• I don't even use a rolling pin for these biscuits, the dough is soft enough to pat it out gently with floured hands to a thickness of about 1 & ½ inches.
• Using a sharp 3 inch biscuit cutter cut the biscuits out and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• Place the sheet of unbaked biscuits into the freezer for several hours or overnight to freeze them solid.
• When frozen, store in an airtight container in the freezer until needed.
• Place as many biscuits as you would like on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Whisk together the egg and water and brush on the tops of the biscuits. (This step is optional, it is just to help the tops get a deeper golden brown colour. You will also not need to use all of the egg wash, only enough to very lightly brush on the tops.)
• Place the baking sheet with the frozen biscuits in a cold oven, then turn to oven on 400 degrees F.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until evenly golden brown. Let them cool down for 10 minutes or so. before serving.

FREEZER BISCUITS

Steps:

• When the butter is really soft, tip it into a bowl along with the sugar. Using an electric hand whisk or exercising some arm muscle, beat together until the sugar is mixed through. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if you like. Stir in the flour and oats. The mixture will be quite stiff at this point. Now decide what else you would like to add - any or all of the flavours are delicious - and stir through.
• Tear off an A4-size sheet of greaseproof paper. Pile up half the mixture in the middle of the sheet, then use a spoon to thickly spread the mixture along the centre of the paper. Pull over one edge of paper and roll up until you get a tight cylinder. If you have problems getting it smooth, then roll as you would a rolling pin along a kitchen surface. You'll need it to be about the width of a teacup. When it is tightly wrapped, twist up the ends and then place in the freezer. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
• To cook, heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and unwrap the frozen biscuit mix. Using a sharp knife, cut off a disk about ½cm wide. If you have difficulty slicing through, dip the knife into a cup of hot water. Cut off as many biscuits as you need, then pop the mix back into the freezer for another time. Place on a baking sheet, spacing them widely apart as the mixture will spread when cooking, then cook for 15 mins until the tops are golden brown. Leave to cool for at least 5 mins before eating.
