Mystery Biscuits Recipes

MYSTERY ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the butter and cheese on a baking sheet and bake until melted, a few minutes.
• Separate the biscuits and cut each biscuit into fourths. Roll the biscuit pieces in the cheese and butter and bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
• Serve warm, or freeze and heat up in a microwave for about 15 seconds.

BASIC BISCUITS

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 toss with flour until no longer sticky. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and cut with a floured biscuit or 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.

VERENA'S MYSTERY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add remaining ingredients.
• Mix until smooth and drop by tablespoon on greased cookie sheet or fill 12 muffin tins two-thirds full.
• Bake at 375° for 18- 20 minutes or until golden.

ALL-PURPOSE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a food processor. Cut butter into pats and add to flour, then pulse 5 or 6 times until the mixture resembles rough crumbs. (Alternatively, cut butter into flour in the mixing bowl using a fork or a pastry cutter.) Return dough to bowl, add milk and stir with a fork until it forms a rough ball.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and pat it down into a rough rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold it over and gently pat it down again. Repeat. Cover the dough loosely with a kitchen towel and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
• Gently pat out the dough some more, so that the rectangle is roughly 10 inches by 6 inches. Cut dough into biscuits using a floured glass or biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter when cutting; this crimps the edges of the biscuit and impedes its rise.
• Place biscuits on a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

PIONEER WOMAN'S MYSTERY (BLUE CHEESE) ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine butter and cheese on baking pan.
• Place into 350 oven for a couple of minutes, or until butter is melted. Remove from oven and stir.
• Cut biscuits into fourths, then toss in butter mixture.
• Bake on same pan (or different, if you prefer) for 8 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Eat warm.

MAYAN MYSTERY COOKIES

Steps:

• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Cream the butter and ¾ cup sugar in a food processor. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and cocoa in a medium bowl and add to the butter mixture. Add the egg and vanilla and process until the batter is uniform. Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Using your hands, roll the dough into balls about the width of a quarter. Tuck about 5 chocolate chips into the center of each one. Put some sugar on a flat plate and roll the balls in the sugar to cover lightly. Place the balls on the baking sheets. Bake for 8 minutes, being careful not to overbake; the cookies should be delicate and soft in the center. Let cool on the baking sheets. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
