Best 12 Easy Angel Biscuits Recipes

ANGEL BISCUITS

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.
