Velveteen Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 Cups of
White Faire Flour
- 1 Tablespoon
of REAL Sugar
- 1 Heaping
Tablespoon Baking Powder
- ½
Teaspoon of Baking Soda
- ½
Teaspoon of Salt
- 2 Tablespoons

- ¾
Cup Skimmed Milk

Sprinkle yeast in ¼
cup of very warm water & add ½ teaspoon of sugar. Allow to
stand five minutes. Mixture wilt be foamy like the village dog’s lips
after he’s bitten into a wayward frog.
Combine flour, rest of
sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder & then cut in margarine till dough
mirrors appearance of cornmeal.
In separate bowl, add
vinegar to milk & stir to make buttermilk. Add to foamy yeast mixture.
Next, make a well in the
midst of thy flour mixture & pour into it, the buttermilk & yeast mixture.
Gently stir till combined.
Cover with plastic wrap
& allow to rest in a warm spot in thy trusty kitchen. The dough wilt
not rise during this short time, so don’t get thy bones in a tizzy for naught.
Roll unrisen dough out
on lightly floured board into large rectangle & cut with biscuit cutter.
Bake in preheated 425 degree oven till golden, about 12-15 minutes.
Enjoy piping hot with
a shot of no calorie butter spray from thy refrigerator. Biscuits can
be sealed & reheated.
Recipe makes 1 dozen biscuits
