Baking Powder Biscuits

"This recipe actually came in the instruction manual of my kitchenaid mixer. I have modified it a little as I have experimented with making biscuits. In the south biscuits are the building blocks of any good breakfast. Once you've made a good biscuit, the options are endless. I usually make these on the weekend. My favorites are sausage gravy over biscuits, bacon or sausage egg and cheese, and jelly/jam biscuits."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 40.
  • In mixer combine flour, baking powder and salt.
  • With mixer on low speed, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
  • Slowly add buttermilk until mixture forms a dough.
  • Replace mixing blade with dough hook and allow dough to be kneaded on a low speed for 3-5 minutes (or knead by hand until all lumps are gone and dough is firm but elastic).
  • Sprinkle rolling board or table with flour.
  • With rolling pin, roll dough out to about 1/2 an inch thickness.
  • Using a biscuit cutter or the top of a glass (I use a beer pint glass) cut out as many biscuits as you can. Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet.
  • Knead dough several times until you have an unbroken ball. Roll out again to 1/2 an inch thickness, cut out biscuits. Repeat as many times as necessary to use dough.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until top of biscuits are golden.

  1. Thanks-you! I have been making biscuits all my adult life and have migrated to new ones every few years. This one is a keeper.
     
  2. Delicious biscuits. I used 50/50 unbleached white and whole wheat flours, a more heart healthy margarine and skim milk soured with lemon juice. They came out lovely and the dough was a dream to work with. I got 9 biscuits using my standard cutter and with 3 for dinner there are only 2 left!

<p>In general, cooking is a passion and a hobby. I love to try new recipes and I love it even more when a new recipe comes out spectacular.&nbsp; I work full time, and am a wife and mother, so sometimes cooking becomes a chore.&nbsp; I try to keep it fresh by planning out the week in meals, trying a new recipe a week, and cooking enough to freeze dinners for those evenings with a tight schedule.</p>
