Jelly Jar Biscuits image

These biscuits are our new favorite! They are very light and flaky! It's actually a delightful mistake I made on my everyday biscuits that was a serendipitous treat. Crunchy on the outside and tender in the middle. This makes six nice sized biscuits when cut with a jelly jar. Serve with biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, or beef stew. Make sure your oven is really heated for a longer length of time than usual. I use a pizza stone in my oven all the time to ensure even and constant heat. It really helps baked goods along the road to perfection. PLEASE NOTE - You can use a lot more milk in this recipe if needed. Just add until you get a soft biscuit consistency. I have used anywhere from 1/4 cup to 2/3 cup depending on the humidity and flour.

Time 15m

Yield 6 biscuits, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/3 cup shortening, plus
1 tablespoon shortening
1/2 plus more cup whole milk (do not use low fat)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425* F.
  • Do not mix your wet and dry ingredients together until the oven is very hot or you will not have fluffy biscuits.
  • After the oven is screaming hot, sift dry ingredients together and stir to make sure they are mixed well.
  • Add shortening to the biscuit mix and cut in with a pastry cutter or two knives until the lumps are as small peas.
  • Add the cold milk and stir until it barely clings together.
  • By hand, knead three or four times.
  • Turn out onto a floured board and pat into a disk about 1/2 inch high.
  • Cut with a floured jelly jar ( 2 1/2"), give the tops a gentle poke, re-roll scraps and cut, sprinkle each top with a little flour.
  • Place biscuits on a sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment. The closer you put them together the softer they are. I don't let mine touch usually.
  • Put into the center of the oven.
  • Bake about 11 minutes. Depending on the size of the biscuits you can bake them from 8 to 15 minutes. So keep an eye on them.
  • This recipe can easily double or even quadruple.

These biscuits were a bit too sweet for me, but my kids loved them. I'll try using less sugar next time.

These biscuits were a little dry for my taste, but I think I overcooked them. Will try again with a shorter baking time.
