Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set aside.
  • Mix the dry ingredients (in the above order) in a bowl, and then cut in the shortening as you would for a pie crust. When it looks grainy or like little beads, it's time to stir in the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly but don't overmix.
  • The dough is ready to use, or it can be refrigerated in a covered bowl for later.
  • When ready to make biscuits, place dough on a well-floured counter or board and knead lightly.
  • Roll out (don't overroll or work the dough) and cut with a biscuit cutter.
  • Place the biscuits on a greased pan and let rise slightly--this is an important step, especially if you have refrigerated dough.
  • Then bake in a 400-degree oven 12-15 minutes.

ANGEL BISCUITS



Angel Biscuits image

I remember exactly when I first encountered these celestial biscuits. It was in the early 1970s as I prowled the South in search of great grassroots cooks to feature in a new series I was writing for Family Circle magazine. Through county home demonstration agents, I obtained the names of the local women who'd won prizes at the county and state fairs. I then interviewed two or three of them in each area before choosing my subject. And all, it seemed, couldn't stop talking about "this fantastic new biscuit recipe" that was all the rage-something called Angel Biscuits. The local cookbooks I perused also featured Angel Biscuits, often two or three versions of them in a single volume. Later, when I began researching my American Century Cookbook, I vowed to learn the origin of these feathery biscuits. My friend Jeanne Voltz, for years the Woman's Day food editor, thought that Angel Biscuits descended from an old Alabama recipe called Riz Biscuits, which she remembered from her childhood. Helen Moore, a freelance food columnist living near Charlotte, North Carolina, told me that a home economics professor of hers at Winthrop College in South Carolina had given her the Angel Biscuits recipe back in the 1950s. "I remember her saying, 'I've got a wonderful new biscuit recipe. It's got yeast in it.' " Others I've queried insist that Angel Biscuits were created at one of the fine southern flour millers; some say at White Lily, others at Martha White (and both are old Nashville companies). In addition to the soft flour used to make them, Angel Biscuits owe their airiness to three leavenings: yeast, baking powder, and baking soda. Small wonder they're also called "bride's biscuits." They are virtually foolproof.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 dozen biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups sifted all-purpose flour (preferably a fine southern flour; see headnote)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup firmly packed vegetable shortening or lard or a half-and-half mixture of the two
2 cups buttermilk
One 1/4- ounce package active dry yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup very warm water (105°to 115°F.)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • 2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the texture of coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and yeast mixture and toss briskly with a fork just until the mixture forms a soft dough.
  • 3. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and with floured hands, knead lightly for about a minute. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until 5/8 inch thick; then, using a well-floured 2 1/2- to 2 3/4-inch cutter, cut into rounds. Place on ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Gather scraps, reroll, and cut as before.
  • 4. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuits are nicely puffed and pale tan on top. Serve at once with plenty of butter.

Angel Biscuits (Hints from Heloise's recipe) image

I use this recipe for pizza dough as well, and wil work it a bit more if using for that. they always come out better if frozen or chilled when put in to bake as it gives less chance for lard or shortening to melt = flakier

Categories     Biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 c water, warm
2 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/8 c sugar
1/2 c lard or shortening
1 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. mix yeast and warm water in separate bowl. do not use water over 110 degs, or it will kill yeast.
  • 2. in large separate bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.
  • 3. cut in lard or shortening until pieces are very small
  • 4. stir in buttermilk and yeast mixture. Either refrigerate dough, or proceed to knead lightly on floured board and roll to 3/4" and cut with a floured biscuit cutter or glass.
  • 5. place in greased pan. Some people like to baste with butter, but as much as I love butter, I don't do this. Let rise for a few minutes.
  • 6. Bake at 400 degs Fahrenheit until light brown, about 12 minutes.
  • 7. Serve with gravy, or buttered with honey or jam, or with a slab of ham or sausage and cheddar cheese...or just enjoy plain..
