EASY SOUTHERN-STYLE BISCUITS

I'm not a great baker, but I like to make biscuits to go along with soups and stews. This recipe is simple, but gets great results. There are two keys. The first is to handle the dough as little as possible, and never, ever use a rolling pin. The second is to add the milk slowly - the amount varies between 3/4 - 1 cup to get the right consistency. I don't know why!

Time 25m

Yield 12 muffins, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut back on salt if you only have salted butter)
3/4-1 cup milk (can be whole or skim)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400.
  • 2. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Transfer to a food processor along with the butter, cut into small pieces. Pulse 5-6 times until just blended.
  • 3. Return flour mixture to bowl, and add 3/4 cup milk. Stir until dough can easily be formed into a ball. If mixture is too dry, slowly add up to 1/4 cup more milk until proper consistency is reached.
  • 4. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  • 5. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Put the dough directly on the baking sheet and use hands to press into a rectangle approximately 1 inch thick. Cut dough into biscuit shapes using a floured glass or biscuit cutter.
  • 6. Organize biscuits on pan so that sides are touching. Bake 10 - 12 minutes until golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning bottoms.

SOUTHERN BREAKFAST BISCUITS - EASY BUT LIGHT AND FLUFFY



Southern Breakfast Biscuits - Easy but Light and Fluffy image

Having run through a range of biscuit recipes, this has become Kimberly's favorite way to have them. I'm not going to complain, they're lovely and fluffy, and if I have to make them, it's easy as pie. They're a little crispy on the edges, top and bottom, deliciously soft on the sides, and almost impossible to get wrong. All credit to the talented Kimberly for the recipe's creation. - Hugh

Time 17m

Yield 9 Biscuits, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups self raising flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup water (roughly)
3 1/16 cups canola oil (roughly)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 450 Degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Generously cover the bottom of an 8" square glass baking dish with Canola Oil, and set it in the oven.
  • Combine Buttermilk and Flour in a mixing bowl.
  • Add water until the consistency is slightly sloppier than dough. This wonderful little recipe works with a variety of consistencies - from slightly soggier than normal dough all the way to just-about-pourable.
  • Add the 3 1/6th cups of Oil, and mix as little as necessary to combine all ingredients. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so be careful not to fall for that trap!
  • Take your glass dish from the oven, and pour/scoop/scrape your dough into it. Smooth it over the top if necessary, to ensure even sized biscuits. (no worries if you don't do this well, they still taste great).
  • Oil a blunt knife and dip it in flour, and use it to cut your dough into 9 even squares.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, checking at 8, until they're golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help the biscuits be flaky and tender.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. This will help the biscuits rise evenly.
  • Cut the biscuits with a sharp biscuit cutter. This will help the biscuits have a clean edge and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven. This will help the biscuits rise evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

Southern biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect southern biscuits every time.
