Chef John's Butter Puff Biscuit Dough image

This biscuit dough is similar to puff pastry but uses a much less fussy procedure. It works great for fruit tarts, ham and cheese turnovers, and chocolate croissants--and of course, plain biscuits served with butter and jam.

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Biscuits

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups self-rising flour
¾ cup cold water, or as needed
7 tablespoons frozen unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place self-rising flour and cold water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using dough hook attachment knead to form a soft, slightly elastic, but not too sticky dough, about 2 minutes. Form dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Place chilled dough on a floured surface and roll out to a 1/2-inch thick rectangle using just enough flour to keep it from sticking. Grate about 4 tablespoons of frozen butter onto the surface of the dough to within about 1/2 inch of the edge. Lightly flour a sheet of plastic wrap. Spread the plastic wrap, floured side down, onto the butter and gently press the butter into the dough. Carefully remove the plastic wrap.
  • Fold 1/3 of the dough over the middle third; then fold the other 1/3 over the middle into a tri-fold with 2 layers of butter. Roll dough again into a rectangle, brush off excess flour, and create another tri-fold. Roll again to about a 1-inch thickness. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
  • Place chilled dough again on a floured surface, roll into a rectangle, and make another tri-fold. Roll back out again into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Grate about 3 tablespoons butter onto the surface of the dough. Cover with floured plastic wrap and press butter into dough. Remove plastic wrap. Give dough another tri-fold and press layers together. Roll out dough and fold in half. Roll out again, and fold in half. Roll out dough one more time. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until ready to use.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); see Cook's Note.

JOHNNY'S BISCUITS



Johnny's Biscuits image

These are the most wonderful biscuits you'll ever put in your mouth. They are the biggest, best tasting, lightest, and fluffiest biscuits I've ever had. They're not very hard to make either.

Provided by Andrea Evans

Categories     Biscuit

Time 40m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups self-rising flour
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Spray a 10 1/2 inch cast iron skillet with non stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. Cut in the shortening and softened butter with a fork until the lumps are pea size. Gently stir in the buttermilk until all of the flour is incorporated; do not over mix. The dough should be very wet. If not, add more buttermilk to achieve a sloppy consistency. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Place all-purpose flour in a bowl. Spray an ice cream scoop or large spoon with vegetable spray and scoop out dough. Drop each biscuit one at a time into the flour. Using well-floured hands, pick up each piece and pass from hand to hand lightly to shake off excess flour and shape it into a soft round. Place the biscuits gently into cast iron skillet. They will be a tight fit. Do not mash the biscuits down! Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
  • Bake at 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) for 16 to 18 minutes. Cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Using cold butter is key. Cold butter creates steam in the oven, which helps the biscuits rise and become flaky.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Make sure the biscuits are chilled before baking. Chilling the biscuits helps them hold their shape and rise properly.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature. A high temperature helps the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the biscuits. Overcooked biscuits will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Johnny's Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these flaky, buttery biscuits right at home. Whether you prefer them plain, with butter and jam, or with a hearty gravy, Johnny's Biscuits are sure to please everyone at the table.
