CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE BISCUITS

I like these because they are so quick and easy. Even though you use Bisquick, they don't come out tasting like Bisquick or like baking powder. I always have to double the batch to make sure I get some!

Time 23m

Yield 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/4 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
melted butter, for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Mix the Bisquick, buttermilk and sugar together in a bowl.
  • Add the melted butter into the batter.
  • Stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn out onto a well floured work surface.
  • Knead 20 times (this is a very forgiving dough), and don't be afraid to get additional flour into the dough.
  • Roll 1/2 thick, or thicker if you prefer towering biscuits.
  • Cut out into 2" rounds (or your preferred size).
  • Place close together on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Brush tops with melted butter.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; I usually find 8 minutes is enough.
  • When you remove the biscuits from the oven, brush the tops with melted butter again.

Cracker Barrel Like Biscuits! Really! image

I have been on a quest to discover the secret to Craker Barrel's perfect biscuits. There are several recipes out there that claim to be like Cracker Barrel's. I have tried them all, and they all fall short. Finally, through much trial and error, and a combination of the many other recipes I've used, I have created a recipe that is about as close as you could hope to come!!!!

Time 20m

Yield 16 Biscuits, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
3/4 cup milk
1 beaten egg white
extra butter, melted, for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450.
  • SIFT (this is important!) together the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  • Cut in the butter and then stir in the milk until the dough comes together.
  • Divide the dough in half, and then each half in half again. Continue doing this until you have 32 small, roughly-equal, portions. Roll these into balls. Take two balls at a time and press them together into one disk. (This is what allows the biscuits to separate nicely for buttering!) Don't press them too flat, they should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Keep doing this until you have 16 disks. Place them on a ungreased cookie sheet, sides touching. Brush lightly with beaten egg white.
  • Bake 8 - 10 minutes, depending on how dark you like them. 9 minutes works for me.
  • When they come out, immediately brush them generously with melted butter.
  • Eat some right away! They are SO good fresh from the oven! Enjoy!

Categories     Potato Casseroles

Time 1h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 (30 ounce) package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
2 ½ cups shredded Colby cheese, divided
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
8 ounces sour cream
⅔ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the over to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Drain defrosted hash browns well (I used a salad spinner). Combine drained hash browns, 2 cups Colby cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion, butter, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Spoon the mixture into the casserole dish, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and starts to brown, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your biscuits. Use all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, and buttermilk.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Don't substitute ingredients or change the measurements. This could result in biscuits that are too dry, too dense, or too crumbly.
  • Work the dough gently: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise and create a more flaky texture.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: The biscuits should be baked at 450°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

These Cracker Barrel-like biscuits are the perfect addition to any meal. They are light, fluffy, and buttery, with a slightly crispy exterior. Serve them with your favorite gravy, jam, or honey for a delicious and satisfying breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
