These are easy to make and they have very good flavor--yummy. There is no rising. They are between a roll and a biscuit. Our family loves them--especially my granddaughter. So good with homemade soup on a cold night. Have given this recipe to many people and they love them.

I have had this recipe for so long I don't remember where I got it from. Times are a guess. The number of biscuits depends on how large you make yours. I usually get between 18-20 biscuits

Yield 18-20 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

5 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
3 tablespoons warm water

Steps:

Sift 4 cups of flour into a large bowl.
Make a hole in the center of the flour.
Mix and sift into hole 1 cup flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Mix yeast with the 3 tablespons of warm water.
Then pour buttermilk, oil and yeast mixture into the same hole as sifted mixture.
Mix well.
Cover tightly and let stand in refrigerator for 3 hours.
Pinch off balls of dough the size you want your biscuit to be and place into a greased pan.
Bake at 400* for 10-12 minutes.
The recipe states that the dough will keep 5-6 days in the refrigerator. I cook all of the dough the same day so I don't know how well it keeps.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 lb ground beef
1/4 tsp each: salt, black pepper,ground red pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 large onion (minced)
1/2 c bar-b- que sauce
1 can(s) (16 oz) black beans
1 can(s) (16 oz) butter beans
3 can(s) (16 oz) baked beans
1/3 c brown sugar
2 can(s) refrigerated biscuits
OPTIONAL
shredded or sliced cheese

Steps:

1. Brown the ground beef well in a large skillet over medium - high heat, add the minced onion and cook until onions are done (do not burn!)
2. Add all remaining ingredients except the biscuits. Stir and heat well. *** Do Not Drain the beans!!!
3. Pour this mixture into a large roast pan or baking pan.
4. Open up the biscuits and put them on top of the bean and meat mixture. Brush (or spread) the tops of the biscuits with butter.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes... or until biscuits are cooked through and golden brown.
6. *** Sometimes we cover the bean and meat mixture with shredded cheddar cheese or sliced American cheese before adding the biscuits.
7. *** The original recipe also called for salt pork or bacon... it is good with it or without it. *** The original recipe called for cubes of cut up beef.... we have made it this way too...

Tips:

For fluffier biscuits, use cold butter and buttermilk. The cold butter will create steam as it bakes, which will help the biscuits rise.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the biscuits tough.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense. If the dough is too thin, the biscuits will be dry.
Cut the biscuits with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter. A dull knife will tear the dough, which will make the biscuits uneven.
Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. The high heat will help the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
Don't overbake the biscuits. Overbaking will make the biscuits dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Cowboy biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like them plain, with butter and jam, or topped with gravy or chili, cowboy biscuits are sure to please everyone at the table.
