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.
