No 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:

• 1. In medium-sized bowl, whisk first 4 ingredients til well mixed.
• 2. Add sour cream in spoonfuls on top, add oil and mix til all is just moistened with a spoon. Switch to using your hands turning the dough to get all the last of the dry stuff on the bottom of the bowl. Knead 8 times on floured surface.
• 3. Roll thick to only about an 8" circle. Just a few passes with your (floured) rolling pin. Cut out 6 biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a floured glass. Get 2 more out of the last of the dough. (Bunch it back together, knead it just a bit, pat or roll it and cut.) Pitch any last little tidbit if any left. I place mine on my old round metal pizza pan covered with foil and sprayed with butter-flavored Pam. But a cookie sheet will work just fine.
• 4. Place little pats of butter on top, or spread it a little if the butter is VERY soft and doesn't deflate the biscuits while doing so. Bake in hot, preheated 425 oven for 12-15 minutes (ovens vary) or til golden brown on top. Remove from oven and butter tops again with other half of butter. Serve warm with more butter and homemade jam or honey. Makes 8 tall sour cream biscuits.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
• Cut butter into flour mixture using a fork or pastry cutter.
• Add buttermilk and stir with a large spoon until it forms a large ball. You may need add a little more buttermilk , 1 tsp at a time, if it is too dry.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold over in half and gently roll out again. Repeat six times to add flaky layers.
• Using a round biscuit cutter or a large glass dipped in flour, cut out biscuits. Do not twist the cutter or glass when cutting out the biscuits as this will cause them not to rise as much. If there are scraps, roll them together and cut out additional biscuits.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place biscuits on sheet with 2" separating them.
• Bake for approximately 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter after removing from oven. Serve plain, with jam, or some sausage milk gravy and enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix flour, sugar, bk powder, cream of tartar, salt and soda in a bowl. Mix well.
• Then add shortening by hand and then milk.
• Knead well. Cut out ( I use a small tomatoe paste can with bottom cut out) and place on greased cookie sheet ( I use partchment paper or stone).
• Bake at 400 for 20 minutes ( sometimes on a hot day will only be 15 minutes).
• I have used my kitchenaid mixer with dough hook and they have turned out ok.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Mix dry ingredients together thoroughly.
• Add shortening and cut into dry mix until it resembles course crumbs. (Two butter knifes work, but everyone should own a pastry cutter!).
• Add milk and stir until dough just clings together.
• Form dough into balls a little larger then a golf ball and place side by side on a baking sheet.
• Press balls down with the palm of your hand until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
• Bake in oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden.
