Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3/4 cups bread flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon butter flavor seasoning (Butter Buds)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon Accent seasoning
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 cup hydrogenated palm oil or 1/8 cup cold coconut oil
1/8 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons melted salted butter
1 pinch salt
1 pinch granulated sugar

Steps:

  • PLACE oven rack in center position; PREHEAT oven to 450°F.
  • PROCESS the DRY INGREDIENTS in a food processor until thoroughly combined (1 3/4 cups bread flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1 1/4 teaspoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon Butter Buds seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/8 teaspoon Accent seasoning, 1/8 teaspoon white pepper).

  • WHISK 3/4 cup buttermilk with 1 egg white in a 2-cup pour-spout measuring cup; POUR mixture through the feeder on food processor while running; PROCESS dough until it comes together and blades begin to slow down.
  • TRANSFER dough mixture onto a generously floured board; ROLL dough very thinly using a rolling pin, using as few passes as possible over dough; RE-FLOUR board (and re-flour whenever needed to prevent dough from sticking); FOLD in half, then into half again; ROLL dough very thinly in the same previous manner; REPEAT rolling and folding no more than 3 times, to insure flakiness without over-working dough; ROLL dough into a rough ball.
  • ROLL dough with rolling pin until it is between 1/2" - 3/4" thick; CUT into rounds using a biscuit cutter or small drinking glass, re-piecing and re-using scraps.
  • ARRANGE biscuit dough rounds on a baking sheet.

  • BAKE biscuits on the center rack at 450°F between 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown (oven temperatures vary, so have oven light on to keep an eye on them).
  • SERVE hot and ENJOY.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 stick (1/2 cup COLD butter)
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup buttermilk
Melted butter to brush on top of your biscuits after they're baked

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a cookie sheet or baking pan.
  • Mix the flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium-sized or large bowl to make your dry mixture.
  • Slice the cold butter into small slices and add it to your bowl of biscuit mix dry ingredients.
  • Use a pastry cutter, pastry blender, or knife to cut the butter into small pea-sized pieces.
  • Stir in the milk and buttermilk gently until your dough forms.
  • After you have mixed your wet and dry ingredients together, your dough is ready. The dough will be very sticky, so you need to make sure you generously flour your cutting surface so that the biscuit dough doesn't stick.
  • Roll your dough out and fold it three times. Then, roll it again until the dough is 1/2-inch thick. Don't make the dough any thicker than two inches, because your biscuits are going to rise and become super tall in the oven.
  • Sprinkle just a bit of flour on top to help your dough to be less sticky when you're cutting your biscuits.
  • Cut your biscuits using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, 3 inch biscuit cutter, or round glass that is about the same size. Remember not to twist your biscuit cutter. Gently shake the biscuit cutter so that the biscuit dough falls out.
  • Arrange your formed biscuits closely together on a greased cookie sheet or baking sheet. Don't leave them a lot of room to widen. This way, they will be thick and fluffy when they're done.
  • Bake your biscuits for 20-24 minutes until they are light brown on the top.
  • While your biscuits are baking, melt butter that you will brush on top of your cooked biscuits.
  • Using a bakery brush, brush the tops of your golden-brown flaky biscuits with melted butter.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter and buttermilk: Cold butter creates flaky layers in the biscuits, while cold buttermilk adds tanginess and helps keep the biscuits moist.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough allows the butter to solidify, which will help the biscuits rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Popeyes biscuits are best served warm, right out of the oven.
