Make Ahead, Freeze and Cook Biscuits

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate
salt, table
shortening, vegetable, household, composite
milk, buttermilk, fluid, cultured, lowfat

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add shortening and cut with a fork or pastry cutter.
Do not overmix.
The shortening should resemble small peas.
Stir in buttermilk until the dough is soft.
Knead dough 10 to 12 times only.
On a floured surface roll the dough 1" thick.
Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
Use a larger circle for big size biscuits.
To freeze, place the biscuit dough on a large pan lined with waxed or parchment paper and freeze overnight.
Once frozen, place in a large freezer bag and store in freezer until ready to cook.
To cook, take out the desired number of biscuits and place on a lightly greased baking sheet or pan.
Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
