#Wordless Wednesday My Favorite Flaky Biscuit Recipe

I love biscuits.  I love cornbread too.  It is hard to say which is my favorite but I am going to say that biscuits is number one with me.

Ingredients

• 2 cups plain flour - sifted
• 3½ tsp baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 113 grams butter (1/2 cup) cold butter cut into ½ inch cubes
• ⅔ cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450.
2. Place dry ingredients in a food processor and whiz to combine.
3. Add butter and pulse til the butter looks like peas.
4. Dump into a mixing bowl and add the milk and honey and stir until it comes together.
5. Place on a lightly floured surface (I use a silicone mat because it's easy to clean) and knead several times to work the gluten
6. Then pat the dough with your fingers to about ¾ inch high. You can go lower and get more biscuits but they won't be as high.
7. You can cut them with a biscuit cutter, a tin can or a glass but don't use a seesaw approach as that will reduce the rise.
8. If you want soft edges like I do, place them about an inch apart on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
9. I used a knife and cut them square and had no leftovers. Put  biscuits on a baking sheet about two inches apart. If you like softer edges from a “pull-apart” biscuit, put them close together in a pan.
10. You may brush the tops with melted butter or milk before baking but I always brush with butter right after they come out of the oven.
11. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
12. I like to let them rest for about twenty minutes before baking, but, seriously, my babies don’t sleep that long, so I usually just throw them in the oven. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes or until they are done to your liking.

 

 

 

I hope you try this recipe and love it like I do.  My husband is crazy over these biscuits too.  Let me know if you try them.
