ANGEL BISCUITS

Soft and chewy Angel Biscuits are a wonderful mashup of a dinner roll and a buttermilk biscuit, using yeast, baking soda and baking powder for leavening, to create an angel-like airy biscuits.

Categories     bread     Breakfast     Side Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cold butter or shortening (, cut into pieces)
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer stir together yeast, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter or shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the water and buttermilk until smooth. Turn onto a floured surface and knead a few times. At this point you can roll out and cut the biscuits, or refrigerate the dough in a covered container for 1-3 days.
  • Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick. I usually just use my hands to press the dough out into a square (1/2 inch thick) then I cut the square into 16 pieces. I combine the corner pieces together, to make about 14 even sized biscuits. I find this faster and easier than cutting out with a round biscuits cutter, but either method works great!
  • Place cut out biscuits in buttered cast iron pan, or a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Uncover biscuits and bake for about 13-18 minutes, until golden brown.

ANGEL BISCUITS

Angel biscuits are a cross between a regular biscuit and a dinner roll. They're super light and fluffy!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield About 10 angel biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup warm water (100 degrees F to 110 degrees F)
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus melted butter for brushing
3/4 cup buttermilk
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Steps:

  • Stir the warm water and honey in a small bowl until dissolved, then stir in the yeast; set aside until creamy or foamy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the cut-up butter to the flour mixture and work it in with your fingertips until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and buttermilk. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the flour is completely moistened and the dough looks like a shaggy ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough is doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Lightly brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate or 9- to 10-inch cast-iron skillet with melted butter. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and briefly knead three or four times until smooth. Pat until 1 inch thick; fold in half like a book and pat to 1 inch thick again. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat folding and patting two more times. Cut out rounds using a 2 1/4-inch biscuit cutter (dip the cutter in flour if the dough is sticky). Gently knead the scraps together once to cut out more biscuits. You should have about 10. Place them close together in the pan. Cover and refrigerate until the biscuits rise and are cold and firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Brush the tops of the biscuits generously with melted butter. Bake until browned on top and firm in the spots where the biscuits meet, 20 to 25 minutes. Brush again with more melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt. Let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes, then slide out.

AIRY ANGEL BISCUITS



Airy Angel Biscuits image

Yeast makes these biscuits light and airy. Add a smear of Brooke's Mustard Dip and a slice of country ham for a delicious breakfast sandwich.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes forty-eight 1 1/2-inch biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 packages active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees)
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled, for brushing
2 cups buttermilk
Country ham, for serving
Brooke's Mustard Dip, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together into a large bowl. Transfer half of the dry ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and cut in the cold butter, pulsing, until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces of butter still remaining. Transfer the mixture back to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the yeast mixture and buttermilk. Stir until a dough forms and turn out onto a floured board. Kneed until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch, and cut out 1 1/2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter. Set the biscuits 2 inches apart on the baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and bake until lightly golden (they should not brown), 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips

  • For fluffy biscuits, use cold butter. Cut the butter into small pieces and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes before rolling it out. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, making the biscuits more tender.
  • Use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to cut the biscuits. This will prevent the edges of the biscuits from becoming ragged.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion

Angel biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create light, fluffy biscuits that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give angel biscuits a try.
