Betty demonstrates how to make Angel Biscuits. These biscuits are quick and easy to make. After the biscuit dough is made, it is refrigerated until needed (for up to a week). These are terrific for a holiday dinner.

Stir until all flour is just moistened. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. 

When ready to make biscuits, take out only what you need, and return the rest back to the refrigerator.
