Molasses Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the cubed butter. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Mix with a fork until all of the ingredients are incorporated and the dough begins to come together into a ball. (The dough will be slightly dry.)
• Dust a clean work surface with flour, coat your palms and rub some on a rolling pin. Turn out the dough onto the work surface. Knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes, folding it over onto itself each time. Roll out the dough until about 1/2 inch thick. Dip a 3-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a 3-inch-wide glass in flour and then cut out the biscuits. Reshape the leftover dough into a ball, roll it out again and cut out more biscuits. Repeat until the dough is gone.
• Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. While the biscuits are still hot, brush with the melted butter.
• Make the molasses butter: Stir the butter and molasses together to combine. Serve the warm biscuits with the molasses butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with rack in center. Sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, ginger, cloves, and pepper. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• In a small bowl, whisk together milk and molasses until completely combined. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add the milk-molasses mixture.
• Using a fork, stir the mixture until it almost comes together. Gently bring the remaining smaller dough particles together with your fingertips. Transfer dough to a very lightly floured surface, and pat into a flattened circle about 6 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick. Cut dough into rounds with a 2-inch cookie cutter. Gently press the excess dough together, and cut several more biscuits. Gently press the remaining excess dough together one more time, and cut one more biscuit.
• Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet; generously brush tops with cream. Bake until golden brown, 24 to 26 minutes. Place biscuits on a wire rack to cool slightly.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the melted margarine, 1 cup sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in the molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger; blend into the molasses mixture. Cover, and chill dough for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining white sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until tops are cracked. Cool on wire racks.
