Denver Biscuits
Ingredients
3 pkgs. dry yeast
1 quart sweet milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup shortening
5 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Directions
Dissolve yeast in a small amount of warm water.
Scald milk and let cool until lukewarm. Add sugar and shortening. Add flour to the mixture until it looks like a pancake batter. Add the dissolved yeast. Allow the mixture to rise until doubled in size. Stir and add the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add enough flour to look like a soft biscuit dough.
Roll out on a floured board and cut like biscuits. Place on a greased cookie sheet and freeze. When frozen, store in plastic bags in freezer. These will keep 4 to 6 weeks.
Bake as needed at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Recipe makes 45 to 50 biscuits.
