Angel Biscuits (Hints from Heloise's recipe) image

I use this recipe for pizza dough as well, and wil work it a bit more if using for that. they always come out better if frozen or chilled when put in to bake as it gives less chance for lard or shortening to melt = flakier

Categories     Biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 c water, warm
2 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/8 c sugar
1/2 c lard or shortening
1 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. mix yeast and warm water in separate bowl. do not use water over 110 degs, or it will kill yeast.
  • 2. in large separate bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.
  • 3. cut in lard or shortening until pieces are very small
  • 4. stir in buttermilk and yeast mixture. Either refrigerate dough, or proceed to knead lightly on floured board and roll to 3/4" and cut with a floured biscuit cutter or glass.
  • 5. place in greased pan. Some people like to baste with butter, but as much as I love butter, I don't do this. Let rise for a few minutes.
  • 6. Bake at 400 degs Fahrenheit until light brown, about 12 minutes.
  • 7. Serve with gravy, or buttered with honey or jam, or with a slab of ham or sausage and cheddar cheese...or just enjoy plain..

These biscuits are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Just add them to the dough.

I've also made these biscuits with whole wheat flour. They're still delicious, but they're a little bit denser.

I like to add a little bit of grated cheese to these biscuits. It gives them a nice cheesy flavor.

I was skeptical about this recipe at first, because it seemed too simple. But I was pleasantly surprised! The biscuits were amazing. They were so light and airy, and they had the perfect amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.
