Angel Biscuits

2 cups lukewarm water
6 tablespoons buttermilk powder
3/4 cup Crisco Shortening
5 cups bread flour — divided
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons rapid rising yeast

Place the ingredients in bread machine pan in this order:

2 cups lukewarm water, buttermilk powder, Crisco, 3 cups bread flour, soda, salt, baking powder, sugar, yeast, 2 cups of bread flour. Turn machine onto ‘dough’ setting and let process

NOTE: you will have to stay close by for the kneading process as your dough will require a ‘little’ help mixing – once all ingredients are incorporated you can leave your machine to finish the cycle.

WARNING: remove dough from machine as soon as the dough cycle completes otherwise it will start rising and lift the lid off the machine!

Once dough cycle has completed – spray Ziploc bag with Pam or other veggie spray – dump dough into bag, zip up and keep in fridge (it will rise in the bag). From this point you can either make your rolls (as many as you want at one time – this is the beauty of this recipe – you don’t have to make up the whole recipe at once and can put the unused dough back into the fridge) by rolling and cutting or make individual rolls in muffin tins by just pinching off a piece of dough, shape into a roll and put in muffin tin and bake at 400° F.  for 12 minutes or until golden.
