 Biscuits
 3 c. biscuit mix
 2/3 c. water
 Preheat oven to 425 F.  Stir most of the water with the mix.  Add more  
 water to make a soft dough that is not too sticky to knead.
 Knead dough 15 times on a lightly floured surface.  Pat or roll dough into  
 a square about 7 x 7 inches.  Cut into 16 pieces and place on ungreased  
 baking sheet.  Bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
