Family Recipes Along the Way

A tradition in our home on Thanksgiving and Christmas morning.  Ingredients 2 packages Grands buttermilk biscuits 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar (packed) Directions   Preheat oven to 350 degrees  Grease one 9 or 10 inch Bundt( pan. Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters.  Add the biscuit pieces to the cinnamon/sugar mixture and shake to coat.  It works best to add a few at a time. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat.  Boil for 1 minute.  Pour over the biscuits. Bake at 350 degrees  for 35 minutes.  Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate.

4 cups flour ( I use bread flour but you can use All Purpose flour) 1 1/2 cup warm water (108-110 degrees) 1/3 cup olive oil  1 envelope Active Dry Yeast 1 Tablespoon sugar  1 teaspoon salt  Put yeast and a Tablespoon of sugar into water and let sit about 5 minutes while you prepare the flour mixture  Mix flour and salt in stand mixer.  Add olive oil and mix until incorporated.   Add water and yeast mixture  Mix until incorporated  Torn out onto counter and shape int a smooth ball.  Place in a large mixing bowl that has been oiled.   Cover and let sit in a warm place until double in size  Cut the dough in half and shape each half into a flat round disc.   Place each disc into a plastic storage bag that has been sprayed with Pam.   I usually put one in the refrigerator and use within 3 days and the other goes into the freezer for later.  

2 cups self-rising flour 1 T sugar 1/2 cup shortening 3/4 cups buttermilk melted butter In large bowl stir together flour & sugar. Cut in shortening. Make a well in the center & add buttermilk.

Brush tops with melted butter and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
