Big Fat Jelly Biscuits Recipes

J.P.'S BIG DADDY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
• Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.

PERFECT HOMEMADE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• The secret to excellent biscuits is COLD BUTTER. Really cold. Many times the biscuit dough gets worked so much that the butter softens before the biscuits even go in the oven. Try cutting the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge pulling out only when ready to incorporate into the dough.
• Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Use a pastry cutter to cut cold butter into flour mixture. Don't go too crazy here - you want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.
• Add in the milk and egg and mix just until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky but don't keep working it. You should be able to see the butter pieces in the dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Sprinkle some flour on to the top of dough so it won't stick to your fingers and knead 10-15 times. If the dough is super sticky just sprinkle on some additional flour.
• Pat the dough out to 3/4 - 1 inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. I ended up with nine this time but depending on who is snacking on biscuit dough, I can get up to 12 biscuits.
• Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
• For extra yumminess, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter...

(BIG AS A) CATHEAD BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prepare a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a mixing bowl.
• Mash small chunks of lard into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or with your fingers, letting each addition integrate fully before adding the next, until all the lard has been added and the mixture resembles coarse-ground cornmeal.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour milk into the well. Stir the mixture with a spoon, making sure to scrape the edges of the bowl so that the dry flour there gets wet, just until the milk is incorporated into the dry mix and there are no large areas of powdery flour remaining, leaving lumpy dough which is sticky in some places and even a bit grainy in the driest areas. From here, use your hands to carefully mix to ensure even consistency.
• Divide dough into 8 equal chunks and shape each into a thick biscuit. Put the shaped biscuits into the prepared cake pan with the sides touching.
• Bake in preheated oven until the tops are light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

JELLIED BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, stir quickly with a fork just until mixed. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Make a deep thumbprint in tops; fill each with 1 teaspoon of jelly. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until biscuits are browned.

THE BEST JELLY SLICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Line the base and the sides of a slice tin with baking paper, making sure you leave plenty hanging over the sides.
• Crush the biscuits until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. You can use a rolling pin or food processor.
• Add the melted butter to the crushed biscuits and mix until combined. Pour the mixture into the lined slice tine and press down with the back of a metal spoon and place in the fridge to chill.
• In the meantime, add 2 1/12 teaspoons of gelatine to 3/4 of a cup of boiling water and stir until it has dissolved. Place the condensed milk into a bowl and while whisking, add the dissolved gelatine mixture and the lemon juice. Continue to whisk until mixture is smooth and has combined.
• Remove the set biscuit base from the fridge and pour over the condensed milk layer. Place back in the fridge, until it just begins to start to set - approximately 30 - 45 minutes
• While the slice is chilling, you can make the strawberry jelly as per the packet instructions - adding an extra teaspoon of gelatine. Allow the jelly to cool until it has reached room temperature.
• Remove the slice from the fridge and carefully pour the jelly over the slice and place it back in the fridge to completely set approximately 6 hours - overnight is best.
• Remove the set slice from the fridge and using a hot knife, cut into squares.

JELLY JAR BISCUITS

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.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Bake desired amount of biscuits according to package instructions. Let cool slightly. Slice in half horizontally.
• Spread 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter on one half. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of jelly on top of peanut butter. Place other biscuit half on top.
• Repeat with remaining biscuits. Serve immediately.
