MOM'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS



Mom's Baking Powder Biscuits image

This is the recipe my mom always made. I like to use the butter flavored shortening, but you can use regular. Amount of biscuits you get depends on how big around you make them and the thickness. My daughter likes me to make smaller ones.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter creates pockets of steam in the biscuits as they bake, resulting in a flaky texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the biscuits to rise and become flaky.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't crowd the biscuits in the pan: Leave some space between the biscuits so that they can rise properly.
  • Brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking: This will help the biscuits to brown and become crispy.

Conclusion:

These basic baking powder biscuits are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are also a great snack or breakfast food.
