Categories     side-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 to 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup warm (90 to 110 degrees F) water
1/2 ounce (2 packages) active dry yeast
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cold, cut into small squares, plus 4 tablespoons, melted
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
  • In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the yeast and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until bubbles appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Using your hands, mix the 1 cup cold butter into the flour, breaking the butter into small pebbles, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients. Keep mixing until a ball starts to form, then gently knead, 12 to 15 times, to create a smooth dough. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and press out to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick. Fold the dough in half, press again to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick, and then fold again. Cut the dough using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, depending personal preference. Brush the bottom of a cast-iron skillet with some of the melted butter. Place the biscuits in the skillet; brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, depending on size. Brush again with melted butter and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh buttermilk, unsalted butter, and all-purpose flour are essential for making the best biscuits.
  • Keep your ingredients cold: This will help to create a flaky, tender biscuit. You can chill your butter in the freezer for 30 minutes before using it, and you can also chill your buttermilk and flour in the refrigerator.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, and then stop.
  • Let the dough rest: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make the biscuits more tender. Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help to create a golden brown crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

These Southern Raised Biscuits with Angel Biscuits are the perfect addition to any meal. They are easy to make and absolutely delicious. With their flaky, tender texture and golden brown crust, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or side dish, give these biscuits a try.
