Roll Recipe?!


Question:

Roll Recipe?

I am looking for a recipe my grandmother used to make. It is not in her recipe box, so I thought I would try here! SHE called them "Angel Biscuits", but they were more like a Parker House Roll. She sometimes "stuffed" the middle of the roll with a bit of sausage before folding them over and baking them. Does anyone have anything similar?


Answers:
"Angel" Biscuits

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups frozen butter (cut into two pieces for easier handling when grating)
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, plus
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (optional)

Set oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, grated cheddar cheese (if using) and baking soda; stir with a spoon to combine. Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture; toss to combine.
Make a hole in the center of the flour mixture. Add in the buttermilk all at once; stir just until moistened (do not over-mix!).
Divide the dough into two. Knead each dough piece gently, until dough holds together. Shape the dough into a semi-flat round ball. Wrap the balls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about one or more hours.
Before cutting into biscuits, flatten with hands on a lightly floured surface to about a 1-inch thickness (can be thicker if desired for a higher biscuit). Cut the dough with a biscuit cutter into round shapes.
Place on cookie sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until lightly browned.

**NOTE** because of the butter content, these biscuits tend to spread out a bit while baking, not too worry though, they are still to die for LOL!

That sounds heavenly!!!!!!!!!
ANGEL BISCUITS

1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup shortening
1 3/4 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Sprinkle the yeast over warm water and sugar, and allow to stand 5 minutes. Add buttermilk. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients thoroughly. Cut in shortening.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the buttermilk mixture. Pat dough together and knead gently 10 times.

Do not overmix or the biscuits will be tough.

Roll out to 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out circles.

Brush with a small circle of melted butter.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 11-12 minutes or until lightly golden
