Instructions
 

  • Set aside 2 cups (about 9 oz) flour for step 5. DO NOT PACK FLOUR.
  • Pour 1 qt 1 cup (about 1 lb 6 oz) flour, dry milk, baking powder, and salt in a commercial mixer (batch as needed). Using a paddle attachment, mix on low speed for 1 minute.
  • Add sour cream to flour mixture. Mix for 2 minutes at low speed. Mixture will be crumbly.
  • Add water and mix for approximately 1 minute on low speed to form soft dough. Scrape bowl as necessary during mixing.

  • Roll out about 3 lb 8 oz dough to ½" thickness. Cut with floured 2½" biscuit cutter.
  • Transfer to a sheet pan (18" x 26" x 1") lightly coated with pan-release spray.
    For 50 servings, use 2 pans.

    Conventional oven: 400 °F for 12–14 minutes.
