Quihi Biscuits

[Raine]

Quihi Biscuits

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• ½ cup shortening
• Water

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Cut in shortening. Add enough water to make a stiff dough, and turn out on floured board. Knead lightly. Form by hand into biscuits about two inches in diameter and three-quarters of an inch thick. (These will not rise as much as regular biscuits so they need to be thicker.)

Preheat Dutch oven in the coals. Put biscuits in the oven and bake with coals on top and bottom for about 15 minutes. Remove bottom heat and finish baking from top only. When they are golden brown, they are done. For regular oven, bake at 425 degrees until done.

You can cook canned biscuits that way too...if you're lazy like me.
