EASY SOUTHERN-STYLE BISCUITS



Easy Southern-Style Biscuits image

I'm not a great baker, but I like to make biscuits to go along with soups and stews. This recipe is simple, but gets great results. There are two keys. The first is to handle the dough as little as possible, and never, ever use a rolling pin. The second is to add the milk slowly - the amount varies between 3/4 - 1 cup to get the right consistency. I don't know why!

Time 25m

Yield 12 muffins, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut back on salt if you only have salted butter)
3/4-1 cup milk (can be whole or skim)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400.
  • 2. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Transfer to a food processor along with the butter, cut into small pieces. Pulse 5-6 times until just blended.
  • 3. Return flour mixture to bowl, and add 3/4 cup milk. Stir until dough can easily be formed into a ball. If mixture is too dry, slowly add up to 1/4 cup more milk until proper consistency is reached.
  • 4. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  • 5. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Put the dough directly on the baking sheet and use hands to press into a rectangle approximately 1 inch thick. Cut dough into biscuit shapes using a floured glass or biscuit cutter.
  • 6. Organize biscuits on pan so that sides are touching. Bake 10 - 12 minutes until golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning bottoms.

SOUTHERN BISCUITS

For a taste of homemade comfort, bake Alton Brown's buttery, flaky Southern Biscuits recipe from Good Eats on Food Network.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup buttermilk, chilled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better, you don't want the fats to melt.) Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.
  • Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting. (Biscuits from the second pass will not be quite as light as those from the first, but hey, that's life.)
  • Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter, cold
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening, cold
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of the cold butter and the cold shortening and work it into the dry ingredients, using your hands, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk. The dough will be sticky. Dust your work surface with some flour. Turn the dough onto the floured surface. Gently fold each side toward the center. Pick up the dough and dust the work surface with additional flour. Return the dough to the floured surface and fold each side towards the center again. Turn the dough over and press it out to 1-inch thickness. Cut the biscuits, straight down, do not twist the cutter, with a 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and add to a 10-inch round cake pan. Place the biscuits in the pan, turning once (to coat both sides with butter), about 1/4-inch apart. Let the biscuits rest for 15 minutes before baking. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

GREG'S SOUTHERN BISCUITS



Greg's Southern Biscuits image

Light and fluffy and the closest thing I've found to my grandmother's biscuits. Delicious for jams, butter, honey, corn syrup, or just great bread for any meal. My grandmother used to make them pretty much every day.

Provided by GregWmson

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Biscuits

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ teaspoon lard
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons butter, frozen
2 tablespoons lard, frozen
1 teaspoon bacon drippings
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1/2 teaspoon of lard.
  • Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. Grate the frozen butter and 2 tablespoons frozen lard into the flour mixture with a cheese grater; stir lightly 1 or 2 times to mix. With your fingers, make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, and pour the bacon drippings and buttermilk into the well. With just the tips of your fingers, stir lightly and quickly to just bring the dough together before the butter and lard melt. Dough will be sticky.
  • Scrape dough out onto a floured surface, and gently pat the dough flat. Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour, and fold it in half; pat down, fold again, and repeat until you have folded the dough 4 or 5 times. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a square about 1 inch thick. Cut the biscuit dough into rounds with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the floured edge of a drinking glass by pushing straight down (twisting the cutter will seal the edge and keep the biscuits from rising). Lay the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet so the edges just touch.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until risen and lightly golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

SOUTHERN BISCUITS



Southern Biscuits image

I normally don't use a recipe for my biscuits,but I've learned from experience that the recipe on the bag of flour does not make the best biscuits. Here is an approximate recipe.

Provided by Dale Goodman

Categories     Breads

Time 45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/2 cups self rising flour
1/2-2/3 cup shortening
1 1/2-2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Mix flour and shortening in a mixing bowl.
  • Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add buttermilk and stir.
  • Start out with a little and add more as you need.
  • The dough should be wet and gummy.
  • THEN, sprinkle a little flour on top and work it in with your hands.
  • Then flip the dough and do the same on the other side. Continue to do this until the dough isn't sticky on the outside, it doesn't take much.
  • Then flour your hands and take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball, then place on a greased cookie sheet or baking pan and flatten slightly into a biscuit shape. When you've finished with the dough, b ake the biscuits in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, just until they start to brown, then take them out and preheat the broiler, and then stick the biscuits back in until they are brown.
  • You can brush them with melted butter if you like. This may take some practice, but after a few times you will know what the consistency of the dough should feel like. I hope this works for you.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will create flaky layers in your biscuits.
  • Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make your biscuits tough.
  • Don't over-knead the dough: Knead the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Let the dough rest before baking: This will allow the gluten to relax and make the biscuits more tender.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't over-bake the biscuits: Over-baking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Freshly baked biscuits are the best!

Conclusion:

Southern-style biscuits are a delicious and versatile breakfast or dinner side dish. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite gravy, jam, or honey. With the right ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can make perfect Southern-style biscuits every time.
