Finally made these biscuits - yes delicious! Froze half, but they did not last long, kids wanted them again the next day! I found that cooking frozen biscuits 8 minutes was a little too long for my oven, 6 or seven kept them from over browning, then left in 0 degree oven for 8 minutes. I used all (frozen) butter and shredded with food processor into sifted dry ingredients. I notice that KA recipe does not have sifting while the Bakewell Cream can does. The food processor does not really save on time or clean up so I will try your flattened butter technique next time. The 8x8 pan idea did not really pan out for me (ha, ha), though I will say that it must have been a little bit more than half of the dough in an 8x8. Trimming really makes a difference in rise, but oh how we hate to have any scrap. Thank you again PJH for all the pointers, I think I am ready to move on to cinnamon chip biscuits!
Thanks for doing this action research in your home kitchen! Happy Baking! Irene @ KAF
