These are really good - but sometimes in my oven 15 minutes is not quite enough so watch closely to make sure they are not underdone and when adding a couple minutes make sure they don't become overdone.

OLD FASHIONED BISCUITS



Old Fashioned Biscuits image

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 TBS sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg
1 cup milk or buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425*F Prepare baking sheet with liner or non-stick foil and set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder & cream of tartar. Mix well. Toss in cubed butter. I like to take my stick of butter (3/4 cup) and cut it length wise, then turn it on it's side and cut it lengthwise again. You'll have 4 long pieces now. Then slice it and crumble butter into flour mixture. Using a pasty blender or forks, mix butter into flour. Don't over due it. You want to still see chunks of butter so don't mix it so well that you don't see them. In a small bowl, combine milk and egg - mix well. Add milk mixture into butter mixture and mix well. Spread additional flour onto a counter. Put biscuit mixture onto flour surface. Sprinkle biscuit dough with flour and roll out until 3/4 - 1 inch thick. You should see chunks of butter still in dough. Using the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and transfer to a prepared cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden color. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your biscuits.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for baking, as even a small difference in the amount of an ingredient can affect the outcome of your recipe.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make your biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the biscuits to rise evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
