Because they are just so delicious, I have never felt the urge to try his Cream Biscuit recipe… until your post. ĭeb, I have been using, loving, and recommending your website for months and this is the post that I cannot resist commenting on! James Beard’s “Baking Powder Biscuits” has been my favorite recipe for years. Serve immediately, or flash freeze for future use. Dip the top of each round in melted butter and arrange on the baking sheet. Gather dough scraps and continue to make rounds. Cut into rounds, 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Turn dough onto a floured surface, mound it into a ball and, using your hands, press it to a thickness of about 3/4 inch. (I ended up using two additional tablespoons, or half the unused cream.) If the dough is not soft or easily handled, fold in the remaining 1/4 cup cream, little by little. ![]() Sift two cups flour, the baking powder, salt and (if using) sugar into a large bowl. Melt butter in a small pot or microwave dish, and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Made about 10 biscuits, perhaps a dozen if I had been stricter about the height and scrap-usageĢ cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the surface If you find dipping the biscuits in butter difficult (hard to grasp if the dough is soft), just brush them generously instead. The original recipe has you brush your baking sheet with melted butter (and increases the amount by two tablespoons) but for whatever reason, the butter not covered by biscuits just got smoky in my oven so I’m voting for you to just line your sheets with parchment. Three years ago: German Pancakes and Winter PanzanellaĪdapted from James Beard’s American Cookery You know, unless you ate them all without sharing, stashing them in your cheeks or something.īiscuits and scones, an apparent obsession of mine, previously: Buttermilk Chive Biscuits (the perfect chili/barbecue/breakfast-variety biscuit, plus or minus the chives), Jalapeno-Cheddar Scones, Dreamy Cream Scones (like this, plus butter, sugar and dried fruit), Meyer Lemon and Fresh Cranberry Scones, Rhubarb Cobbler and Strawberry ShortcakesĮver had a muffin, scone or biscuit that tasted tinny? The cure is so easy! And then you never have an excuse not to have freshly baked biscuits on the ready. ![]() You can bake them still frozen, they’ll just need an extra few minutes in the oven. Go ahead and make them whenever you have time, flash freeze them and store them in a freezer bag for a later day or freeze them right on your buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet so they’re ready to go when you are. ![]() But you don’t need to make them at the 11th hour, biscuits freeze excellently unbaked. Sure, I tried a stale one 24 hours later (for research, people, of course) and it wasn’t so bad but I chalk that up to them being extra-awesome from the get-go. Or, uh, a very faint crunch.Īnd here’s the thing with biscuits (and scones, for that matter) - they’re the best when you’ve first baked them. And they remain the richest, lightest biscuits I’ve ever had, with serious plushness within and the faintest crunch at the edges, which sound as you tear one open as if you’d broken a cookie in half but then turned the volume on that sound way down. (That’s so going to be my first album title, I’ve decided.) Three minutes to assemble and twelve minutes to bake. A sifter, a mixing bowl and a puddle of melted butter. These biscuits are of the latter variety but I suspect they will quickly become your one and only biscuit because if you’re anything like me, you’ll wonder where they’ve been your whole life.īecause they’re so easy, it might feel like you are cheating: Five ingredients. And there are biscuits that you bring out in a warmed basket with a cloth napkin draped over them at a dinner party, to sop up a braise or slather with honey-butter. There are biscuits that you serve with chili, with barbecue or alongside some eggs and grits. There are biscuits and there are biscuits. ![]()
