SKILLET BISCUITS
This recipe is more about the technique than the ingredients. I've added a bit more description since the first review. Making biscuits in a skillet rather than the oven is something I picked up from Joy of Cooking. It's a great alternative when you just don't want to heat up the kitchen by turning on the oven. Any rolled biscuit dough will do. NOTE: The texture may be a bit different when the biscuits are made on the stovetop, sometimes mine are a bit more dense than when baked, but they taste really good. I'm including the buttermilk biscuit recipe from Joy of Cooking, which is also wonderful and tender when rolled and baked. Yield is approximate, depending on the recipe you end up using.

Steps:
- Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Cut in shortening or butter.
- Add and lightly mix buttermilk.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1/2 minute.
- Pat the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Cut with a biscuit cutter (or knife, depending on what shape you like).
- If you want to bake the biscuits, bake 10-12 minutes at 450.
- For skillet biscuits:.
- Cook the biscuits on a lightly greased hot skillet/griddle about 1 inch apart.
- Use your best judgement as to the heat - I generally use a more moderate flame and brown biscuits 3 to 4 minutes each side, though the original recipe says to brown them for 5-7 minutes each side over high heat.
- As mentioned above - the biscuits will not be light and fluffy like with baked biscuits - so don't wait for them to rise and be puffy. They will be more dense.
- The best approach is to keep an eye on them and turn them when they are browned and dry-looking on one side before turning them over.

Tips:
- Use cold butter: This will help create flaky layers in your biscuits.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make your biscuits tough.
- Cut the biscuits out with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter: This will help prevent the biscuits from sticking together.
- Place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet: This will help them rise evenly.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Stove top biscuits are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a batch of flaky, golden brown biscuits that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give stove top biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed.
