Sea Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients, cut in margarine until crumbly.
• Add 1/2 cup of milk then mix, add the last 1/4 as needed. Dough should be wet, but not sticky.
• Roll into roughly 5cm (2 inch) balls. Flatten slightly and stack them 2 high.
• Oven 425, cook 10-12 min or until slightly golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir Cheddar cheese and chives into flour mixture; gradually stir in milk to form a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and with floured hands, knead until smooth, about 15 times. Roll dough out to a 1-inch thickness with a floured rolling pin. Cut biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter; place onto an ungreased baking sheet. Press dough trimmings together, roll out again, and cut remaining dough into rounds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Stir quickly to combine.
• Dough should be soft.
• Turn out on lightly floured surface.
• Knead gently 8-10 times.
• Roll or pat 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick or half the thickness you want the baked product to be.
• Cut with small round cookie cutter.
• Place on greased cookie sheet close together for soft sides or apart for crisp sides.
• Bake in 450 degrees oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
• Brushing biscuits with milk before baking will produce a pretty brown top.
• Makes 10.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat dough to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter., Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut shortening in until mixture has a fine crumb texture. Stir in milk with a fork to make a soft dough. Knead 8 to 10 times, and then roll out to a thickness of at least 1/2 inch. Cut into rounds with a cookie or biscuit cutter. Place on cookie sheet, and allow to rest for a few minutes.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place the flour, baking powder, butter and ½ tsp of the flaky salt in a food processor, then whizz for a minute until the butter is completely mixed with the flour. Add 4 tbsp water and pulse until the dough comes together. If it still feels dry, add 1 tsp more water and process until you have a soft but not sticky dough.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 50 x 25cm and as thin as possible. Brush a little water over the surface of the dough, scatter 1 tsp salt flakes over and press in lightly. Prick the dough all over with a fork, then cut into 18 squares. Place on the prepared trays - don't worry if they stretch a bit. Bake for 10-15 mins until the biscuits feel dry and sandy but are still pale - they may still feel soft but will harden up when cooling. Transfer to a wire rack and leave until completely cool. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Put all of the ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix with a fork until the mixture has lumps the size of peas. Work dough with your hands until it is smooth. Divide the dough into 28-30 small pieces about the size of marbles.
• Roll each piece of dough into a ball then flatten it with your fingers into a very thin circle. Place the circles on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the biscuits are dry and light brown around the edges. Cool and store in an airtight container.
