Freezer Biscuits

Hello there,

I’m in the kitchen this morning.  If you don’t know me well you probably don’t know that I am a freezer meal addict.  Not store bought freezer meals but homemade freezer meals.

Last week I purchased 80 lbs of fresh chicken breast from Zaycon and made over forty freezer meals, plus divided the remaining chicken breast up into meal size portions for Russ and I.  It took me 3 days, 1 for shopping and two for cooking.  Normally doesn’t take that long but I had a few other things going as well, like stamping and holding a stamp class,  lol.

My chest freezer in my garage is now stuffed with meals that I can take out and either bake or put in the crockpot.   All that work really pays off for me for a long time.

To keep organized and know what is in my freezer I keep a wipe board up to date that hangs above my freezer.   Not exactly rocket science but works out really well for me.  Yeah I’m not very classy, lol.  Don’t you just love the tupperware bowl screwed to the wall that holds my markers and eraser, grin.  Remember my freezer is in my garage.

Today I made up a batch of freezer biscuits. No store bought biscuits at my house, especially since they are so super easy to make and they freeze wonderfully.

Here is how I make them. . . . .

Using my food process add the following:

4 cups of all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt.  Put the top on and process for a few seconds to mix.

Cube 1 cup of cold butter and put in processor and process until mixture is crumbly.

Now I have to laugh at this picture, I tried to pour my 1 1/2 cups of milk in the processor as I took the picture, lol.  Don’t try this at home folks!  You want to put the entire 1 1/2 cups of milk in the processor as it is processing.

Process until your dough just comes together.

Important step here, lol.  Take off your rings, nothing worse than picking dough out of your rings, lol.   Put dough on floured surface.  Do not knead, just put it into a ball.

Roll it out to 1/2″ to 3/4″ thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter.  If you are fancy like me you use a glass, lol.   Yep, I know they will never ask me to be on the food network!

Freeze on a cookie sheet for 1 to 2 hours.

Put in a freezer bag and don’t forget to write on the bag to thaw biscuits for 30 minutes and bake at 450 degrees for 8-12 minutes.  You can cook as few or as many as you need.

Now you too can give up the processed biscuits you find at the grocery.  It’s that easy!

    I’m trying to imagine what 80 lbs of chicken even looks like 😉 ! Super impresed with your organization, Michelle! Where did you get all your recipes if I can ask? Especially the freezer to crockpot ones?

    Could you post more recipes? My husband has been on active duty for the last 8 yrs and has been in another state. I got into cards and scrapbooking, when he left, to fill my time. He is retiring the end of this month, with 40 yrs of service. I haven’t cooked much since he left and I now have a 5 month old grandson I am keeping during the day. He is a handful and starting to move around. I should cook on the weekends and pack my freezer with quick and easy meals!!! I am out of practice and need new recipes!!! LOL I just joined Pinterest so may follow you there!!!

    Oh Michelle, you do have class girl. Besides, it reminds me of my Gran using a glass for her biscuits! Makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Gonna save the recipe…thanks very much! My hubby is going to appreciate you. Now that the kids are gone, we usually just end up giving the leftover biscuits to the girls…well, and now our rooster, too (we had a hawk issue). That reminds me…you canned some candied carrots or something similar a couple months back…I know it was something carrots. I was really hoping you would post how you did it, but you did not. I’m not a big carrot fan, but it sounded yummy!! =/ Have a beautiful day, we will probably be doing our tarping this weekend as well. 8)

    Hello Michelle! I was a biscuit baker at a national restaurant chain for a few years where I learned some very important tips for baking biscuits. I learned that using a drinking glass pinches the sides of the biscuit together as it cuts it out and that prevents the biscuit from rising properly. Only by using a sharp biscuit cutter will you get the tall fluffy biscuits that you see on television shows! It really makes a difference in my biscuit making at home and it did not cost all that much. Well, happy baking!!
