Yeast is used as part of the leavening to give these easy angel biscuits the light, airy texture that inspired their name.

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 package active dry yeast (1 scant tablespoon)
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled to 115 degrees
2 cups buttermilk, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, sift or whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Sprinkle yeast over water, and allow to stand until creamy looking, about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour mixture, yeast mixture, melted butter, and 1 cup buttermilk. Stir to combine. Add the remaining flour and buttermilk alternately, stirring between additions. When a sticky dough forms, cover it with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove dough from refrigerator, and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead a few times, and roll to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out with a 2 1/4-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, and place on baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden on top and done in middle. Remove from oven; cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.

I made these biscuits for my husband's birthday breakfast and he loved them! He said they were the best biscuits he's ever had.

These biscuits were a bit dry, but they were still edible. I think I might try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of biscuits, but these angel biscuits were pretty darn good. They were light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet flavor. I'd definitely make them again.

I've made these biscuits several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can use ingredients that I already have on hand.

These biscuits were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they were still good. I think I might try using a different flour next time.

These biscuits were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These biscuits were a bit denser than I expected, but they were still very good. I think I might try adding a little more baking powder next time to make them a bit lighter.

I was skeptical about making biscuits from scratch, but these angel biscuits were surprisingly easy to make. They turned out perfectly golden brown and had a delicious buttery flavor. I'll definitely be making these again!
