Yield Makes 12 small biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup milk (see headnote)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter or line a baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork or 2 table knives, combine the butter and flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Slowly add the milk, stirring with a fork, to the desired consistency.
  • For softer biscuits, drop 2 tablespoons of the dough onto the lined baking sheet. For firmer biscuits, turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and gently knead just to bring the dough together. Carefully roll out the dough about 3/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or sturdy glass, cut about 12 biscuits, rerolling any scraps. Place on the lined baking sheet. (The biscuits can be frozen at this point. Freeze on the baking sheet, then remove to a resealable container or plastic bag for easier storage.) Bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes (add 3 to 4 additional minutes for frozen ones), until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve warm.

  • Stir in the black-eyed peas, tomato sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes.

BUTTERY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Buttery Buttermilk Biscuits image

Flaky, croissant-like biscuits with delicious buttery layers achieved through the dough laminating process.

Provided by Anonymous

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Land O'Lakes, Inc.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups cold LAND O LAKES® Butter
1 ½ cups cold buttermilk

Steps:

  • Sift flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a mixing bowl.
  • Slice the butter into 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch pieces. Put the butter pieces in the flour and mix with your hands, gently rubbing the flour and butter together between your fingers without directly touching the butter to avoid melting it. Mix until the butter pieces are dime-size and covered by the flour mixture.
  • Stir buttermilk into the flour mixture; mix just until ingredients are combined and form into a ball.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dust work surface and top of dough with flour. Roll out dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle. Fold into thirds (like a letter) using a bench scraper, if needed. Turn dough a half turn, and roll back into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle. Repeat twice more, folding and rolling dough a total of three times.
  • Fold the dough into thirds once more and transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 20 minutes.
  • Place the dough on the work surface and roll it out again to 3/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie or biscuit cutter to cut the dough into rounds.
  • Place the biscuits about 1 inch apart on parchment-lined sheet pan. Cover biscuits and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with buttermilk. Place biscuits in preheated oven.
  • Immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake until biscuits are lightly browned and golden all around (any lighter and they will be doughy inside), 12 to 15 minutes. Allow biscuits to cool for 5 minutes; serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help create flakier biscuits. If you don't have time to chill your butter, you can freeze it for about 15 minutes before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Gently mix the ingredients until they just come together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaking the biscuits will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Buttery biscuits are a classic Southern comfort food that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite toppings. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, these tips will help you make perfect buttery biscuits every time. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make treat, give this recipe a try!
