How to Bake the Best Biscuits
You will need 1/3 cup of bread flour, 1-2/3 cups all purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of
salt, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons chilled shortening, 6 tablespoons
bitter unsalted and chilled, ¾ cups of milk and 3 tablespoons butter which is melted.
Next in your quest to bake the perfect biscuit you’ll need to set your oven to preheat
at 425 degrees with the rack in center of the oven. Then combine the flour, salt and
baking powder, mixing thoroughly in a large sized bowl. Cut the shortening and cold
butter into the mixture by using a pastry blender and mix until it has the appearance
of cornmeal. Pour in your milk and mix with all ingredients until moistened
throughout, make a ball out of the dough and start to work, kneading on a lightly
floured surface area.
The dough should be rolled out approximately to a 5-9 inch rectangle shape, Keep
kneading and working the dough, then roll back out into a 9 inch rectangle and cut
with biscuit cutter into 9 biscuits. Your biscuits should be spaced about 1 ½ inches
from each other for best baking results and placed on a cookie sheet that is not
greased. Using butter that has been melted lightly brush biscuit tops with a pastry
brush. Place in the 425 degree oven for about 14 minutes and you will have baked
the perfect biscuits for everyone to enjoy with your favorite homemade jam and jelly
or good old fashioned gravy for a truly satisfying meal. This is a recipe that you will
want to keep in your file, and use over and over again.
Biscuits can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner and can be accompanied by
tasty meats as well as soups, stews or casseroles. They are the best bread choice
for almost any style of family gathering or brunch. Happy Baking!
