James Beard's Baking Powder Biscuits image

I got this recipe from "Beard on Bread" many, many years ago. I always make them with chopped herbs and/or grated Parmesan to give them a little extra kick. They're wonderful!

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder (double-acting)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter

Steps:

  • Sift flour into mixing bowl with baking powder and salt.
  • Using fingers, two knives, or a heavy fork, blend butter and flour into very fine particles. (Don't beat any longer than you absolutely must!).
  • Add milk and stir just enough to ake particles cling together -- it will be a very soft dough.
  • (You may have to add up to another 1/4 cup of milk, for a total of 1 cup of milk in the biscuit dough.) Turn on to floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
  • Drop dough by large spoonfuls on to a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray.
  • Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.

These biscuits are a game-changer. They're so light and fluffy, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness. I'm never going back to store-bought biscuits again.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. These biscuits were just average.

I thought these biscuits were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These biscuits were a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier biscuit.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
