Never Fail Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 35o degrees. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. In med. bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and butter and mix til crumbly. (Do not over blend.) Add egg and milk and mix till moistened. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 min. or until golden brown. I added ched. chez and real bacon bits to the dough for something different. Another time I sprinkled chives in the dough. Or you can add some garlic powder, cajun or Taco seasoning. Mix it up! Am thinking of trying them with some dried fruit in the mix as well with a little sugar.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in water, set aside.
• Mix dry ingredients in order given, then cut in shortening until it's the size of small beans.
• Stir in the buttermilk and yeast mixture. Dough will be very sticky.
• Cover bowl with towel and let sit until ready to use. (At least 1 hour, but it is fine if it sits for a couple hours.)
• Scrape out onto well floured board. Flip the dough over and knead or fold lightly (4-6 times).
• Roll out about 1/2" thickness and cut with sharp biscuit cutter. (Cutting with a dull cutter or water glass "seals" the dough and won't let the biscuit rise as they should.)
• Place on lightly greased baking sheet and let raise slightly (10-30 minutes).
• Bake at 400º F until light brown, 10-12 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until mixed. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the milk until mixture forms a soft dough and leaves the side of the bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
• Lightly sprinkle flour over a cutting board or countertop. Place dough on floured surface; gently roll in the flour to coat. To knead dough, fold dough toward you. With the heels of your hands, lightly push dough away from you with a short rocking motion. Move dough a quarter turn and repeat 10 times. Dough will feel springy and smooth.
• On the floured surface, flatten dough evenly, using hands or a rolling pin, until dough is 1/2 inch thick.
• Before cutting each biscuit, dip a 2 1/2-inch round cutter into flour to lightly coat it so it will cut cleanly through the dough without sticking. To cut, push the cutter straight down through the dough without twisting or turning. Cut the biscuits as close together as possible. On an ungreased cookie sheet, place biscuits about 1 inch apart for biscuits with crusty sides, or place with sides touching for biscuits with soft sides.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until crumble. Combine egg and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-15 times. Roll out to 1-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• mix dry ingredients.
• cut in butter.
• beat egg and milk slightly in separate bowl.
• milk together.
• kneed on floured surface.
• roll till desired thickness.
• cut out with a glass or cookie cutter.
• bake 350 for till golden brown.

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.
