## Biscuits: How to make them perfect

Heat oven to 450° (hot). Add ⅔ cup milk all at once to 2 cups Bisquick. Stir with fork into a soft dough. Beat dough vigorously 20 strokes, until stiff and slightly sticky.

Roll dough around on cloth-covered board lightly dusted with Bisquick to prevent sticking.

Knead gently 8 to 10 times to smooth up dough.

Roll ½″ thick. Biscuits double in size in baking. Dip cutter in Bisquick. Cut close together to save rerolling.

Bake on ungreased shiny baking sheet 10 to 15 min.; close together for soft sides, 1″ apart for crusty sides. Makes 12 2″ biscuits.

For Drop Biscuits ... drop dough with spoon on greased baking sheet. Bake as above.

For Richer Biscuits ... follow directions above—except mix ¼ cup soft butter or shortening, or 3 tbsp. cooking (salad) oil into Bisquick before mixing in milk.

For Buttermilk Biscuits ... use ¾ cup buttermilk for liquid. It may be necessary to use a few additional tablespoons of buttermilk to make a dough of soft consistency.

## Yeast Baking

### Hurry-up Yeast Rolls

1. Dissolve 1 pkg. active dry yeast in ¾ cup warm water (not hot—105° to 115°). Mix in 2½ cups Bisquick. Beat vigorously.

2. Turn dough onto surface well dusted with Bisquick. Knead until smooth, about 20 times.

3. Shape into 12 pan rolls. Place in greased 8″ round layer pan.

4. Place pan of rolls on wire rack over a bowl of hot water and cover with towel; let rise about 1 hr.

Heat oven to 400° (mod. hot). Bake 10 to 15 min., until a rich golden brown. Brush with butter after baking. Serve hot. Makes 16.

1. Water temperature for dissolving yeast is right when it is slightly warmer than lukewarm. Too hot water kills the yeast; too cool water retards rising.

2. Rolls are ready to bake when dough is puffy and light and slight indentation remains in dough when pressed gently with finger.

### Variations in Shapes

### Crescent Rolls

Roll dough into 12″ circle. Cut into 16 wedges. Beginning at wide side roll toward point. Place on greased baking sheet with point underneath.

### Clothespin Rolls

Divide dough into 16 to 18 strips. Roll each on board with palms of hands into 12″ lengths. Wrap strips around greased clothespins so edges barely touch.

### Knots

Make strips (as above). Twist and tie each strip into a knot. Press ends down on greased baking sheet.

24

Sprinkle with caraway seeds, poppy seeds, celery seeds, sesame seeds, or garlic salt. Cover with damp cloth. Let rise in warm place (85°) until light, about 1 hr. Heat oven to 425° (hot). Bake 15 min., until light golden brown. Turn oven off. Allow bread sticks to remain in oven 15 more minutes to crisp.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
