MELT IN YOUR MOUTH HEAVENLY BISCUITS



Melt in Your Mouth Heavenly Biscuits image

These are the most delicious biscuits I've ever tasted! They just melt in your mouth. Great on their own or with sausage gravy, these biscuits are sure to impress. This recipe comes from Shirley Corriher's "Cookwise".. a terrific cookbook! She's the food scientist on "Good Eats" with Alton Brown. I think that this is her grandma's recipe. Be sure to follow this recipe exactly.. There is a method to the madness!! Enjoy!! One of my reviewers complained that she couldn't work the dough. So I updated the directions to be more explicit. This dough cannot be "worked" like traditional biscuit dough would.. the excessive moisture creates a steam inside the dough as it bakes creating an out-of-this-world treat! So just forget everything you know about making biscuits and have faith in the recipe... it really is worth the effort.

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

nonstick cooking spray (Pam)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Wondra Flour (in a cardboard can by the flour)
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons shortening or 3 tablespoons lard
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup all-purpose flour (for shaping)
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Spray an 8 inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine next 6 ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Cut in shortening or lard.
  • Stir in buttermilk and cream.
  • (mixture will be VERY WET!) Let stand 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour remaining cup of flour into another bowl.
  • Flour your hands.
  • Drop a biscuit size lump of dough into the flour. I use a half cup measuring cup for this step. The "dough" is too wet to really pick up with your hands.
  • Cover with more flour.
  • Gently pick up lump of dough with your hands by sliding your fingers underneath it then lightly toss from hand to hand to remove excess flour and to roughly shape the biscuits. You are just basically coating the very wet dough with flour. Be gentle!
  • Drop into prepared pan.
  • Repeat with remaining dough, placing tightly into pan.
  • This is so they rise up instead of just spreading out.
  • Brush with melted butter or margarine.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Let cool in pan a few minutes, then dump pan out and gently separate biscuits.
  • Serve ASAP!

### 3 Easy Baking Methods to Get a Scratch Biscuit That Melts in Your Mouth ### 1. Kneading and Folding - Knead the biscuit properly to create the desired texture. - Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. - Add milk as needed to create a soft but not sticky biscuit. - Fold the biscuit at least three times, bringing the top portion to the bottom. - This process will create flaky, buttery biscuit. ### 2. Chilling the Biscuit Dough - Chilling the biscuit before cutting and the biscuits can help prevent them from being too soft. - Place the biscuit in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. - This will help the butter harden and prevent the biscuit from spreading too much in the pan. ### 3. Baking the Biscuit - Bake the biscuit in a hot over (450°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. - Use a sharp serrated bread or pastry cutter. - As soon as they are out of the over, lightly reapply the butter and serve warm. ### 2 Dough-Handling Mistakes to Prevent Tough Biscuits - **Not cutting the butter into the dry ingredients enough:** This will result in a biscuit that is tough and dry. - **Over-kneading the biscuit:** This will also result in a biscuit that is tough and dry. - **Not chilling the biscuit before cutting and:** This will make the biscuit too soft. - **Baking the biscuit at too low of a temperature:** This will result in a biscuit that is not crispy and flaky. - **Over-baking the biscuit:** This will result in a biscuit that is dry and crumbly. ### 5 Common Reasons Why Scratch-made Biscuits Turn Out Bad - **Using old or stale ingredients:** Make sure your ingredients are fresh. - **Not following the recipe:** Don't take shortcuts or make changes to the recipe. - **Over-measuring the ingredients:** This can result in a biscuit that is too dry or too soft. - **Not using the right type of ingredients:** Make sure you are using the correct type of butter, milk, and other ingredients. - **Using cold or hard butter:** This will result in a biscuit that is tough and dry.
