Categories     side-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 to 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup warm (90 to 110 degrees F) water
1/2 ounce (2 packages) active dry yeast
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cold, cut into small squares, plus 4 tablespoons, melted
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
  • In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the yeast and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until bubbles appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Using your hands, mix the 1 cup cold butter into the flour, breaking the butter into small pebbles, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients. Keep mixing until a ball starts to form, then gently knead, 12 to 15 times, to create a smooth dough. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and press out to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick. Fold the dough in half, press again to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick, and then fold again. Cut the dough using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, depending personal preference. Brush the bottom of a cast-iron skillet with some of the melted butter. Place the biscuits in the skillet; brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, depending on size. Brush again with melted butter and serve immediately.

Light, flaky and divine, there's a reason we call these biscuits angelic. This classic homemade angel biscuit recipe uses not one, but three types of leavening agents including yeast, baking powder and baking soda, resulting in the fluffiest biscuits imaginable. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast with a spoonful of jam or serve them as a side at the dinner table, these simple buns can go from kitchen to table in under an hour, making them an easy addition to any meal. To give these homemade angel biscuits their heavenly glow, brush them with melted butter the moment they come out of the oven.

Time 40m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package regular or quick active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons warm water (105° to 115°)
2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
About 1 cup buttermilk
Butter or margarine at room temperature, if desired

Steps:

  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in yeast mixture and just enough buttermilk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.

ANGEL BISCUITS



Angel Biscuits image

I remember exactly when I first encountered these celestial biscuits. It was in the early 1970s as I prowled the South in search of great grassroots cooks to feature in a new series I was writing for Family Circle magazine. Through county home demonstration agents, I obtained the names of the local women who'd won prizes at the county and state fairs. I then interviewed two or three of them in each area before choosing my subject. And all, it seemed, couldn't stop talking about "this fantastic new biscuit recipe" that was all the rage-something called Angel Biscuits. The local cookbooks I perused also featured Angel Biscuits, often two or three versions of them in a single volume. Later, when I began researching my American Century Cookbook, I vowed to learn the origin of these feathery biscuits. My friend Jeanne Voltz, for years the Woman's Day food editor, thought that Angel Biscuits descended from an old Alabama recipe called Riz Biscuits, which she remembered from her childhood. Helen Moore, a freelance food columnist living near Charlotte, North Carolina, told me that a home economics professor of hers at Winthrop College in South Carolina had given her the Angel Biscuits recipe back in the 1950s. "I remember her saying, 'I've got a wonderful new biscuit recipe. It's got yeast in it.' " Others I've queried insist that Angel Biscuits were created at one of the fine southern flour millers; some say at White Lily, others at Martha White (and both are old Nashville companies). In addition to the soft flour used to make them, Angel Biscuits owe their airiness to three leavenings: yeast, baking powder, and baking soda. Small wonder they're also called "bride's biscuits." They are virtually foolproof.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 dozen biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups sifted all-purpose flour (preferably a fine southern flour; see headnote)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup firmly packed vegetable shortening or lard or a half-and-half mixture of the two
2 cups buttermilk
One 1/4- ounce package active dry yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup very warm water (105°to 115°F.)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • 2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the texture of coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and yeast mixture and toss briskly with a fork just until the mixture forms a soft dough.
  • 3. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and with floured hands, knead lightly for about a minute. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until 5/8 inch thick; then, using a well-floured 2 1/2- to 2 3/4-inch cutter, cut into rounds. Place on ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Gather scraps, reroll, and cut as before.
  • 4. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuits are nicely puffed and pale tan on top. Serve at once with plenty of butter.

ANGEL BISCUITS BY HELOISE RECIPE

Provided by clawson

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup solid shortening
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix dry ingredients. Cut in solid shortening. Stir in buttermilk and yeast. Refrigerate or knead slightly and roll out on a floured counter or board and cut with a biscuit cutter or small juice glass. Bake 12 - 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven, on a greased cookie sheet.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor.
  • Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh and active. Old baking powder and baking soda can prevent your biscuits from rising properly.
  • Work the dough as little as possible. Overworking the dough can make your biscuits tough.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thick, your biscuits will be dense and heavy.
  • Cut the biscuits out using a sharp biscuit cutter. A dull biscuit cutter can tear the dough and prevent your biscuits from rising evenly.
  • Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet. Do not crowd the biscuits on the baking sheet, or they will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, jam, or honey.

Conclusion:

Angel biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these fluffy, buttery biscuits that are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give angel biscuits a try!
