Wonderful from-scratch yeast biscuits-golden and crusty outside and tender inside-were a staple Mom prepared regularly when I was growing up. They are perfect for sopping up gravy from bowls of beef stew and are also great for sandwiches. Ingredients:
3-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
2 cups king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the sugar, butter, milk, eggs, salt and whole wheat flour; beat until smooth. Add enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
3. Punch dough down; divide into thirds. Let rest for 5 minutes. On a floured surface, roll out each portion to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
