DINNER BISCUITS
Just a bit richer.
Make Biscuits (p. 3)—except add ¼ cup soft butter or shortening or 3 tbsp. salad oil to Bisquick before mixing.
HERB BISCUITS
Make Biscuits (p. 3)—except mix ¼ tsp. nutmeg, ½ tsp. crumbled dry sage, 1¼ tsp. caraway seeds with Bisquick. Good with muffins, too.
CHEESE BREAD
Wonderful warm, sliced ½″ thick.
1 egg, beaten
1½ cups milk
3¾ cups Bisquick
¾ cup grated sharp cheese
Heat oven to 350° (mod.). Blend all together. Beat 30 seconds, until well blended. Pour into well greased, waxed paper-lined 9x5x2½″ loaf pan. Bake 1 hr. When serving cold, slice thin.
CRANBERRY MUFFINS
Mix ¾ cup raw cranberries (cut in halves or quarters) and ½ cup confectioners’ sugar. Let stand ½ to 1 hr. Then fold into Muffin batter (p. 2). Bake.
BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Make Biscuits (p. 3)—except use ¾ cup buttermilk for liquid.
CORN STICKS OR MUFFINS
Heat oven to 450° (hot). Make Muffin batter (p. 2)—except substitute ¾ cup corn meal for ¾ cup Bisquick. Bake 15 min. in greased muffin or corn stick pans. Bake it in a round layer pan and you’ve got corn bread.
SO NICE TO COME HOME TO
Old-fashioned Beef Stew Hot Biscuits (p. 3) (or any hot bread on this page) Cabbage-Radish Slaw Pineapple Upside-down Cake (p. 18)
BUTTER STICKS
Different and delicious. (Pictured on inside of back cover.) Make Biscuit dough (p. 3). Roll into 10x6″ rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 12 strips. Melt ⅓ cup butter; pour half of it into 13x9½x2″ oblong pan. Place strips in pan. Pour remaining butter over tops. Bake.
Neat Trick: Make same as Butter Sticks—except cut in squares, triangles, rounds. Or use your cooky cutters and have fun.
QUICK PARKERHOUSE ROLLS
Look like rolls—taste like biscuits.
Make Biscuit dough (p. 3). Roll ¼″ thick. Cut with 2½″ cutter. Butter lightly and fold in half. Place close together in ungreased round layer pan or square pan. Bake 10 min.
