Recipes from Mexico :: Mexican Tortillas and Breads
Biscuits3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
Combine all dry ingredients and blend well. Cut in butter. Add eggs and milk to the dry mixture, then blend until combined. If the mixture it too wet, add a little more flour. Spread dough out with flour-covered hands on a lightly floured area about 1/2 to 1 in. thick. Spread a thin layer of Filling over the biscuit dough and the remaining into a baking dish. Roll the biscuit dough up as a jellyroll. Slice into 1-in. pieces and place the pieces into the wet baking dish (stick the biscuit pieces together like a puzzle). Bake uncovered or without a lid.
When done, turn out immediately by placing a plate over the baking pan, turning the whole thing upside down, away from your body. Lift the baking dish off the biscuits and let it set up for a few mins. Serve warm.
