Simple Biscuit and Bread Recipes to Save Money!

[favourfelix]

Good afternoon ! I’d love to have a ‘basic’ biscuit and/or bread recipe. I’m not into baking but we go through a lot of both so thought it might save some money.
** Recipes please

Not biscuit or sandwich bread but English muffins are incredibly easy to make! One bowl one griddle NO proofing

@favourfelix it is! The dough is sticky but not too bad

Our favorite biscuit recipe is from a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. It does call for cream of tarter but everything else you probably gave in you kitchen. I will post that recipe, called Biscuits Supreme, as well as their Baking powder biscuit recipe, which is also good.

Biscuits Supreme
Combine 2 cups flour, 4 tsp. Baking powder, 1/2 tsp. Each salt and cram of tarter, plus 2 tsp. Sugar. Mix well then mix in 1/2 cup shortening or butter until it resembles course crumbs. Make x in 2/3 cup milk. Knead the dough a few times then roll or hand press out on a floured surface to about one half inch thick. Cut into biscuits. Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 450 for 10-12 minutes. Makes 16 medium biscuits.
Baking Powder Biscuits
Combine 2 cups flour, 3 tsp baking powder, Mix well, add 1/3 cup shortening or butter, mix until like coarse crumbs, add 3/4 cup milk. Proceed to mix cut and bake as the Biscuits Supreme.

@apersonsaperson I make the Biscuits Supreme all the time with my 7 year old granddaughter. Easy and delicious

@amanneredfool what a great tradition for you both. I love the recipe and that cookbook. I sometimes shred some extra sharp cheddar-a generous amount-and gently knead it into the biscuit dough for cheddar biscuits as a special treat.

This is the recipe that I use for buns, bread, hotdog buns, hamburger buns and cinnamon rolls. So easy and the baked product is amazing

Rhodes bread loaves are very good and Pillsbury biscuits in the bag are also good.
