We've been using this recipe for years. I like the fact that it's basic, similar to what the Pioneers used. I can use milk from my goats or future cow, and I can make my own butter from cream. These are delicious with buttermilk also.
Homemade Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold butter
3/4 cup cold milk or cold buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut butter into the dry mixture until is resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cold milk with a fork until dough forms a ball.
Rub olive oil into your hands, and then knead the dough 5-6 times on a floured surface, or pastry cloth.
Roll dough into about a 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a 3 inch biscuit cutter. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 10-11 minutes at 450°F. or until golden brown.
Tip: Use a heart shaped cookie cutter for a fun Valentine's Day breakfast or dinner.
This recipe is perfect for Biscuits and Gravy.
Enjoy!
thanks for the recipe!

ReplyDeleteI've been searching years for a good biscuit recipe. I've finally found it. Yay! Question though. I only got 7 biscuits out of this. Is that about right?
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteI do have to double the recipe for my own family.
Thank you for the recipe. I have added baking powder to mine only 1 tsp. The recipe on the flour bag doesn't call for it at all. Yours look so fluffy. I like that this is a Pioneer method, I like all things pioneer. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Faith.
ReplyDeletesausage biscuits and gravy for for supper, I'm using your recipe. I am looking forward to hopefully taller biscuits. That 1tbs of BP should do the trick. :)
