Mom's Baking Powder Biscuits image

This is the recipe my mom always made. I like to use the butter flavored shortening, but you can use regular. Amount of biscuits you get depends on how big around you make them and the thickness. My daughter likes me to make smaller ones.

Time 30m

Yield 18 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 4

200g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
50g butter , cold, cut into cubes
flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place the flour, baking powder, butter and ½ tsp of the flaky salt in a food processor, then whizz for a minute until the butter is completely mixed with the flour. Add 4 tbsp water and pulse until the dough comes together. If it still feels dry, add 1 tsp more water and process until you have a soft but not sticky dough.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 50 x 25cm and as thin as possible. Brush a little water over the surface of the dough, scatter 1 tsp salt flakes over and press in lightly. Prick the dough all over with a fork, then cut into 18 squares. Place on the prepared trays - don't worry if they stretch a bit. Bake for 10-15 mins until the biscuits feel dry and sandy but are still pale - they may still feel soft but will harden up when cooling. Transfer to a wire rack and leave until completely cool. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Cold Butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help to create a flakier biscuit. If you don't have time to chill your butter, you can freeze it for about 15 minutes before using it.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help to develop the flavor and make the biscuits more tender.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: When cutting the biscuits, use a sharp knife to ensure that you get clean, even cuts.
  • Bake the Biscuits at a High Temperature: Baking the biscuits at a high temperature will help them to rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the biscuits on the baking sheet so that they can rise properly.
  • Serve Warm: Soda water biscuits are best served warm. You can reheat them in a warm oven or microwave if necessary.
