Freezer Biscuits - from Quick Mix

Using a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening to the Quick Mix, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the milk and knead your biscuit dough lightly a few times, adding a pinch of flour if needed to keep dough from sticking to your hands.

Roll out on a floured surface and cut into shapes.

Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.

Depending on the size of your biscuit cutter, this makes approximately 4-6 biscuits per recipe using 1 cup of mix -- double, triple, as needed.

To turn this recipe into freezer biscuits -- prepare the biscuit dough, cut them out, then freeze them on pans. After they're frozen, place two biscuits per sandwich baggie and then place multiple baggies inside a large freezer baggie. Now you can take out 1 or more baggies of 2 biscuits in the morning, place the frozen biscuits on a small greased cookie sheet to thaw for an hour. Then bake the biscuits and fry up an egg per biscuit. Hot breakfast -- and fast!
