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

Ingredients

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.

VEGAN "BUTTERMILK" SOUTHERN STYLE BISCUITS

Vegan

This is an incredibly simple recipe for "Buttermilk" Southern style biscuits, minus the dairy and cholesterol! I adapted this recipe from a traditional biscuit recipe and these take only a few minutes to make and use incredibly simple ingredients. Eat them with butter and preserves, or even vegan gravy! P.S. - I've made these for non-vegans and they didn't even know that these were vegan.

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Earth Balance whipped spread
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
3/4 cup unsweetened soymilk
chives (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375.
Use your mixer, or use a large-ish mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients and mix together with a fork so ingredients are combined thoroughly.
Then add the Earth Balance and cut into the dry mixture with two knives scissoring against another (or use mixer). The consistency should be lumpy/flaky and E.B. should be about pea-size, as it is important to keep it mealy/flaky for flakier biscuits.
Next measure the soymilk and add the lemon juice to it, allowing it to sit for a few minutes (the lemon juice sours the soymilk giving it a buttermilk like taste).
Add the soymilk mixture and mix thoroughly (until combined) but do not over mix (occasionally I have to add a few extra tblsp. of soy milk, if the dough isn't completely incorporated at bottom of mixer). The dough texture should be able to be handled and formed easily, without losing shape (a bit tacky is okay but not sticky). Flour a board and gently roll dough into a log, cut into 7-8 generous slices, place on sheet (with the cut sides on the side and the top on the top) and bake until golden (15 minutes approximately).

Tips:

Use cold butter: Cold butter creates flaky layers in the biscuits. Grate or freeze the butter before using it.
Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps the biscuits rise.
Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
Let the dough rest: Letting the dough rest allows the gluten to relax and makes the biscuits more tender.
Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise and brown properly.
Brush the biscuits with melted butter: Brushing the biscuits with melted butter before baking gives them a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Southern-style biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect biscuits every time. So next time you're in the mood for some homemade comfort food, give these recipes a try!
