Nans Homemade Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400', Mix all ingredients until it forms a ball in your container. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead the dough 6 to 7 times. Roll out with a floured rolling pin and cut into biscuits. (I use a small drinking glass)
• 2. Place biscuits onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake approximatley for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Mix self-rising flour and Greek yogurt together in a large bowl until combined. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pat dough into a rough 9x7-inch rectangle. Divide into 8 equal pieces. Lightly dust each piece with flour and flatten into a semi-rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Lightly grease a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Add 1 or 2 of the flattened dough pieces to the skillet. Cook until they begin to bubble and brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and repeat with remaining dough until all pieces are cooked. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar and sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir with fork or spatula until soft dough forms.
• Place on lightly floured surface; knead 8 to 10 times or until smooth. Pat dough lightly into 1-inch thick circle. Cut with floured 2-inch cookie cutter to make 8 biscuits. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Split the cardamom pods and remove the seeds. Pound the seeds to a powder in a pestle and mortar with 1 tsp of the sugar.
• Beat the butter until soft, then gradually add the remaining icing sugar and the ground cardamom. Continue beating until light and creamy, about 10 mins.
• Sieve the flour and gram flour into a bowl and whisk in the semolina and a pinch of salt. Stir into the butter and sugar in two increments. Gently bring everything together into a soft dough.
• Roll the dough into small, marble-sized balls with your hands and arrange, spaced out, on baking trays lined with baking parchment.
• Slightly flatten the top of each ball and press a whole almond or some chopped pistachios in the middle of each one. Chill for 20 mins.
• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Bake the biscuits for about 20 mins or until golden. Leave to cool before storing in an airtight tin.
