FAST FOOD-STYLE BISCUITS (FOR 2)
I bought the book "Small-Batch Baking" and this was a recipe I tried this morning and loved!! It made 2 normal size biscuits and one about 1/2 the size. The author, Debby Maugans Nakos, states that this is similar to "Hardee's" biscuits. Mine turned out golden on the outside and tender in the inside and so quick and easy.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush 1 tablespoon of the melted butter over a 6-inch square area on the baking sheet. Set the baking sheet aside.
- Place a large fine-mesh sieve over a medium size bowl. Place the flour in the sieve and sift it into the bowl. Cut in the butter pieces with a fork by dragging the tines of the fork through the flour and butter, pressing the tines to the bottom of the bowl, until the remaining lumps are no larger than peas. Sprinkle 3 1/2 tablespoons of the cream over the mixture, and toss lightly with the fork just until the dough begins to hold together. If necessary, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cream over the dough to make it hold together as a soft dough. ( I needed the full 4 tablespoons).
- Flour your hands, and lightly knead the dough in the bowl 5 or 6 times. Lightly flour a cutting board, place the dough on it, and pat the dough out to form a 5 X 2 1/2 inch rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 2 biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch round cutter. If you wish, form the scraps into a third biscuit.
- Place the biscuits on the buttered square on the baking sheet. Bake until they are golden, about 10 minutes. (I baked mine for 13 minutes, until they were golden).
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve, or wrap in a cloth napkin to stay warm. For buttery tops, brush the biscuits lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter when you remove them from the oven. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better, you don't want the fats to melt.) Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.
- Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting. (Biscuits from the second pass will not be quite as light as those from the first, but hey, that's life.)
- Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine dry ingredients.
- Measure oil and milk in measuring cup and do not mix.
- Pour all at once over flour mixture. Just mix in bowl. Does not need to be kneaded or shaped. Just mix until all ingredients are just moistened. Can add a little more flour if it seems too gooey but you basically will take it in your hands to shape and place on pan.
- Let proof 10 min on lightly greased pan. If you want a more golden look, place egg wash on top before baking. If you want a more dessert type biscuit for strawberry shortcake then dust with sugar and melted butter (or egg wash) before baking.
- 475 degrees 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown. (You may want to adjust heat and time for your own oven since all cook differently).

Tips:
- Use cold butter: This will help create flaky biscuits. You can also freeze the butter for 30 minutes before grating it.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Let the dough rest: This will help the gluten in the flour to relax, making the biscuits more tender. Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes before rolling and cutting it out.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.
- Serve the biscuits warm: Biscuits are best served warm from the oven. You can also store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
These fast food biscuits are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious, homemade breakfast or snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have warm, flaky biscuits in no time. So next time you're craving a biscuit, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
