Tall And Fluffy 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.

FLUFFY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a bowl, whisk together first 4 ingredients. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together egg and milk. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Dough will be wet. , On a well-floured surface, knead dough gently 8-10 times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. , Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Serve warm.

THE MOST FLUFFY AND BUTTERY BISCUITS EVER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Add the butter and using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until pea-like crumbs form.
• Stir in the beaten eggs with a wooden spoon until just combined. Then pour in the buttermilk until the dough comes together into a sticky mass. You may need more buttermilk if it's still too dry and there is flour still at the bottom of your bowl. I ended up having to add in 1/2 cup more. DO NOT add 1/2 cup more all at the same time. Do 1 tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is reached.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• When ready, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dust a little flour onto your work surface then put the dough onto the work surface and use your hands (flour them) to press into a round, roughly 14 inch diameter and 1/2 inch thick. See photos in the blog post.
• Use a floured 2 3/4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out about 20 biscuits. Reform the scraps of dough into a circle again to cut more.
• Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet and arrange them so they are touching each other. See photos in the blog post.
• In a small dish, beat together remaining egg and buttermilk then brush on top of the biscuits.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
• Let cool slightly before devouring! They're best eaten out of the oven, day of.
• Serve with your favorite sausage gravy, jam, or clotted cream.

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...

TALL AND FLUFFY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees F. Spray 9" round cake pan with cooking spray; set aside. Generously spray inside and outside of 1/4 cup dry measure with cooking spray. FOR THE DOUGH: In food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda to combine, about 6-1 second pulses. Scatter butter cubes evenly over dry ingredients; pulse until mixture resembles pebbly, coarse cornmeal, 8-10 1 second pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add buttermilk to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated (dough will be very wet and slightly lumpy.) TO FORM AND BAKE BISCUITS: Using 1/4 cup dry measure and working quickly, scoop level amount of dough; drop dough from measuring cup into flour on baking sheet (if dough sticks to cup, use small spoon to pull it free). Repeat with remaining dough, forming evenly sized mounds. Dust tops of each piece of dough with flour from baking sheet. With floured hands, gently pick up piece of dough and coat with flour; gently shape dough into round ball, shake off excess flour, and place in prepared cake pan. Repeat with remaining dough, arranging rounds around perimeter of cake pan and 3 in center. Brush rounds with hot melted butter, taking care not to flatten them. Bake 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 450 degrees F; continue to bake until biscuits are deep golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Cool in pan 2 minutes, then invert biscuits from pan onto clean kitchen towel; turn biscuits right-side up and break apart. Cool 5 minutes longer and break apart.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk the dry ingredients together until combined, then cut the butter into half-inch cubes and add to the bowl.
• Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the pieces of butter are no bigger than the size of a pea.
• Stir in the buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
• Knead the dough with your hands a few times, to gather the dough into a ball and incorporate any flour that may be left in the bottom of the bowl.
• Dust the work surface with flour, and flatten the dough to a thickness of 3/4 inch.
• Dip a 2-inch diameter cutter into flour and cut rounds.
• Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet (with their sides barely touching) and bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden.

THE BEST BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to combine well.
• Use a cheese grater to grate the butter into the flour mixture. Then use a pastry cutter or a fork to combine the butter and flour mixture well (you can use a fork for the whole process but using a cheese grater first works super well - I recommend it). The goal is to have pea-sized pieces of butter mixed into your flour mixture.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg and buttermilk. Use a fork to whisk the two together and slowly bring in the flour mixture.
• Stir until the biscuits just come together, taking care not to over mix.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and finish combining by lightly kneading the dough together.
• Roll the dough into a 2-inch-thick slab. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out as many biscuits as you can and place them on the prepared sheet, 1 inch apart.
• Re-roll the dough and cut more biscuits until you have used all of the dough, adding a bit of flour to your work surface and rolling pin as needed. You should end up with 9-12 biscuits.
• Bake the biscuits for 15-18 minutes until the tops are very golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and serve right away.
