Refrigerator Biscuits

Refrigerator biscuits are made from dough that is refrigerated. The dough is typically shaped into logs which are then sliced into biscuits before baking.

This is a nice and simple treat which can be prepared the night before. Bake fresh when needed. This recipe can be easily doubled without re-adjusting ingredients.

Ingredients

½ cup (180 ml) of butter
½ cup (180 ml) of shortening
½ cup (180 ml) of sugar
½ cup (180 ml) of brown sugar
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon of vanilla
2½ cups (650 ml) of sifted flour
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking powder
½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of baking soda
¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) of salt
Parchment or wax paper

Preparation

In a bowl mix butter, shortening, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt then mix.
Pull out a sheet of wax paper about the length of your ranges width. Lay down the dough onto the paper, stretching it out then roll it into a log.
Put the log in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Pull dough from the refrigerator, cut up into ¼” (5-6mm) then place on an oiled baking sheet.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool and ready to eat!
