Butter Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter or line a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork or 2 table knives, combine the butter and flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Slowly add the milk, stirring with a fork, to the desired consistency.
• For softer biscuits, drop 2 tablespoons of the dough onto the lined baking sheet. For firmer biscuits, turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and gently knead just to bring the dough together. Carefully roll out the dough about 3/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or sturdy glass, cut about 12 biscuits, rerolling any scraps. Place on the lined baking sheet. (The biscuits can be frozen at this point. Freeze on the baking sheet, then remove to a resealable container or plastic bag for easier storage.) Bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes (add 3 to 4 additional minutes for frozen ones), until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place butter in an 8x8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir butter and keep microwaving at 20-second intervals until butter is fully melted.
• Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a bowl. Add buttermilk and stir until combined. Pour over melted butter and spread over the melted butter. Use a bench scraper to cut dough into 9 equal pieces.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuit tops start to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 5 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-sized bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough.
• Dust a cutting board or work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough in thirds, like a letter, and then pat into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut biscuits out using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
• Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Slice the butter into a couple of thin slices and spread in the bottom of an 8x8" baking dish.
• Place the butter in the baking dish into the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• Carefully pour in the buttermilk, mixing until the flour mixture is just moistened (be careful not to overmix!).
• Remove melted butter pan from the oven.
• Place the dough in the melted butter pan and spread it evenly in the pan with your fingers. As you spread the dough out to the corners, the butter will start to surround the dough and flow on top of the dough (which is what you want!).
• Cut the dough into 9 equal squares (you don't have to do this step, but it makes it easier to pull apart later and allows the butter to soak into all the edges of each piece).
• Bake for 20-25 minutes (start checking at 20 minutes) or until the biscuits are golden brown.
• Serve hot with honey butter or your favorite toppings.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat dough to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter., Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla with a wooden spoon until fluffy and pale in color.
• Add the flour and stir until well combined.
• Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
• Pipe the dough into 12 to 14 flat whirls on your prepared cookie sheet. Put a cherry half on each one.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until pale gold. Leave to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
• Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Put butter in saucepan, let it burn a light brown.
• let butter cool, but not set.
• beat in sugar.
• add egg, and beat again.
• Lastly add self-raising flour.
• Roll into walnut sized balls and place almond/cherries in centre (optional) back on scone tray (try baking paper if unsure whether your tray will stick), spaced apart.
• Bake at 300-325 degrees less for fan-forced for approximately 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450°F.
• Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor.
• Cut the butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles course meal.
• If using a food processor, just pulse a few times until this consistency is achieved.
• Add the buttermilk and mix JUST until combined.
• If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. It should be very wet.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board.
• Gently, gently PAT (do NOT roll with a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times, gently press the dough down to a 1 inch thick.
• Use a round cutter to cut into rounds.
• You can gently knead the scraps together and make a few more, but they will not be anywhere near as good as the first ones.
• Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet- if you like soft sides, put them touching each other.
• If you like"crusty" sides, put them about 1 inch apart- these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together.
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes- the biscuits will be a beautiful light golden brown on top and bottom.
• Do not overbake.
• Note: The key to real biscuits is not in the ingredients, but in the handling of the dough.
• The dough must be handled as little as possible or you will have tough biscuits.
• I have found that a food processor produces superior biscuits, because the ingredients stay colder and there's less chance of overmixing.
• You also must pat the dough out with your hands, lightly.
• Rolling with a rolling pin is a guaranteed way to overstimulate the gluten, resulting in a tougher biscuit.
• Note 2: You can make these biscuits, cut them, put them on cookie sheets and freeze them for up to a month.
• When you want fresh biscuits, simply place them frozen on the cookie sheet and bake at 450°F for about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• Cut firm butter into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss Bisquick mix and butter pieces with fork until coated. Add milk; stir just until milk is absorbed (do not overstir).
• Turn dough onto surface dusted with Bisquick mix. Knead 5 times. Pat to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet with sides touching for soft sides or 2 inches apart for crispy sides.
• Bake about 9 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
• Cut butter into flour until the size of small peas. Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until combined.
• Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
