CHEESY ANGEL BISCUITS



Cheesy Angel Biscuits image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 dozen biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) cold salted butter
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
Two 1/4-ounce packets rapid rise yeast
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 cups cold buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded white Cheddar
Serving suggestions: sorghum, honey and marmalade

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) cold butter into small cubes.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment. Turn the machine on low and pour in the sugar, salt and yeast. Mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly. With the machine running, gradually add the cubed butter piece by piece. Allow the mixer to slowly cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles cornmeal with some pea-sized clumps, about 5 minutes. Add the fresh thyme leaves and mix for 30 seconds more to combine. With the machine still running on low speed, pour in the buttermilk and sour cream. This will pull the mixture together into a sticky dough. Turn the machine off and add the Cheddar. Fold the cheese into the dough on low speed, for about 30 seconds. Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pull the dough together into a smooth disc.
  • Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until it is 1 inch thick. Use a floured 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Collect the dough scraps and roll out and cut again just once more, then discard scraps.
  • Melt the remaining 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter in the microwave. Brush the tops of the raw biscuits with half of the melted butter.
  • Bake the biscuits until evenly golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Brush the biscuits with the remaining melted butter. Serve warm with sorghum, honey and marmalade.

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.

ANGEL BISCUITS



Angel Biscuits image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     breakfast, dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
4 cups all-purpose flour, and more for kneading and rolling
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2/3 cup vegetable shortening, chilled
2 tablespoons melted salted butter

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup lukewarm water (about 105 degrees) in a one-quart bowl, and set aside.
  • Place the buttermilk in a small saucepan, and heat, stirring constantly, over low heat 4 to 5 minutes, until just lukewarm. Stir into the yeast mixture, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift 4 cups flour with the baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the shortening. Using two knives, a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Alternatively, the dry ingredients can be sifted into a food processor, the shortening cut in by pulsing, and the mixture transferred to a large bowl.
  • Gradually add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring constantly, to form a soft dough. Sprinkle the dough with a little more flour, form it into a ball and knead it lightly in the bowl about 2 minutes, until it is fairly smooth. Roll it on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2 1/2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter or a glass. The scraps can be lightly kneaded together, rolled and cut.
  • Place the biscuits at least 1 inch apart on two large ungreased baking sheets. Brush the tops with melted butter. Cover with a cloth, and set aside to rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Adjust oven rack to the lower third.
  • Bake the biscuits, one sheet at a time, 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Remove immediately from the baking sheet, and serve while still hot.

ANGEL BISCUITS



Angel Biscuits image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 35m

Yield Makes forty-eight 1 1/2-inch biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (from two 1/4-ounce envelopes)
1/4 cup warm water (100 degrees to 110 degrees)
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus 1/2 stick butter, melted and cooled, for brushing
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment; set aside. Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Transfer half of mixture to a food processor and add butter. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some blueberry-size clumps. Return to remaining flour mixture in bowl and mix to combine. Make a well in center of bowl and add yeast mixture and buttermilk. Stir until a dough forms, then turn out onto a floured work surface. Knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes.
  • Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thick and cut out 1 1/2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter. Set rounds 1 inch apart on baking sheet, brush tops with melted butter, and bake until lightly golden (do not let brown), 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Using cold butter is key to achieving flaky biscuits. Keep the butter chilled until you're ready to use it, and grate it on a large-hole grater to distribute it evenly throughout the dough.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will result in tough biscuits. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, and then handle the dough as little as possible.
  • Let the dough rest before baking. This will allow the gluten to relax and will result in lighter, fluffier biscuits.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Brush the biscuits with melted butter or milk before baking. This will give them a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Angel Yeast Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're perfect for any occasion, and they're sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious biscuits anytime you like.

Here are some additional tips for making Angel Yeast Biscuits:

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • You can also use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour. However, the biscuits will be a little less chewy.
  • If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a glass or a cup to cut out the biscuits.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.
