Amish Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl combine eggs, Amish Starter and oil.
• Mix well.
• Add starter to dry ingredients and mix until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
• Transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll until 1/2 inch thick.
• Using a 3 inch circle cutter or floured glass cut out biscuits and place on a lightly grease cookie sheet. Brush top of biscuits with melted butter.
• Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 - 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Place on a floured surface and pat into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut biscuits using a 3.5-inch biscuit cutter. Arrange 6 biscuits in a circle, 1 in the center, edges touching.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are browned and tops are starting to brown, 11 to 14 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• While oven is pre-heating, place ¼ cup butter in a 7x11 baking dish or 10" round skillet and place in oven to melt. (a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet really shines at creating the crispy edges, or use a glass baking dish for the prettiest job of browning).
• While the pan is in the oven blend flour, salt, cream of tartar, sugar, baking powder, and then cut in the remaining butter.
• Lightly beat 1 egg in 1 cup of milk before stirring it in the flour mixture.
• Remove the buttered pan from oven.
• Butter should be melted and just slightly browned.
• Do not knead the biscuits, but instead use a large cookie/ ice cream scoop to immediately scoop out balls of dough into the buttered pan.
• Biscuits should be nestled together somewhat tightly.
• Quickly place back into oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown.
