Maryrogersssourdoughbiscuits Recipes

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, salt and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter bits and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly. Mix in the cheese, then fold in the buttermilk until the dough comes together.
• On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, then set aside to cool a little.
• For the sandwiches: Next, add the sausage patties to a skillet over medium heat and fry until cooked through. Set aside and keep warm. In the same skillet, fry the eggs, turning them over to cook the yolks through.
• Now make a sandwich by cutting a biscuit in half. Put a sausage patty on the bottom half. Top with an egg, some hot sauce and a slice of cheese. Cover with the top and eat, or wrap in foil to keep warm.

Steps:

• Prepare the Sourdough Starter the night before. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle yeast in the starter and stir. Add sugar and stir. Add salt and stir. Add baking powder and baking soda and stir. Add oil and then gradually add flour, stirring well after each addition. Place dough on a floured board and sprinkle more flour on top of dough. Flatten dough by hand to about 1/2-inch thickness and then cut with a biscuit cutter. Spray a 16-inch Dutch oven with non-stick cooking spray and then add a little oil to the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place biscuits in Dutch oven, being careful not to overcrowd them. Top with melted butter and set aside to let rise until wrinkles are gone, about 1 hour. Bake, with coals on the lid, for 25 or 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water and whisk to combine. Add sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves. Add sifted flour, 2 cups at a time, whisking after each addition to combine. Peel, wash, and cut the raw potato into quarters; add potato to the flour mixture. Place starter in a large, deep bowl, cover it with a towel, and let rest in a warm place overnight. The starter should be made ahead of time, even 3 to 4 days ahead.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Stir together the flour, powered milk, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl.
• Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly.
• Fold in the buttermilk until the dough comes together.
• On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and use hands to press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
• Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Stir together baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, sugar, and 1½ cups flour with a fork in a large bowl. Add ½ cup chilled butter and toss with your hands or fork just to coat. Using your fingers, smash butter into flat disks (if you miss a few, it will be fine). Using a pastry cutter or fork, work butter into dry ingredients until shaggy crumbles form (you should have some large pieces, some small pieces, some flat pieces, and some sandy flour).
• Add sourdough starter and mix gently with fork to incorporate, then fold with your hands just until dough comes together with just a few crumbly pieces in the bottom of the bowl.
• Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and pat out with your hands until about ½" thick (the shape doesn't matter too much at this point). Fold into thirds as you would a letter to create a rough rectangle. Working from short sides, fold in thirds like a letter again. Pat dough out to a ½"-thick square. Repeat folding process. Pat out dough for a third time to a 1"-thick square-it should feel airy, like a pillow at this point. Using a floured 2½"-diameter biscuit cutter or glass, punch out as many biscuits as you can (do not twist cutter). Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, spacing at least 1" apart.
• Using your hands, gently press scraps into a rectangle, then fold in half. Pat out to a 1"-thick rectangle and cut out more biscuits. Gather remaining scraps together to form 1 final biscuit (you should have 10 total). Transfer to baking sheet. Brush biscuit tops with 2 Tbsp. melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt if desired
• Bake biscuits until tall and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a biscuit registers 205°F), 12-15 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
• Cut in the margarine or butter.
• Mix in sourdough starter.
• Turn out dough onto lightly floured board.
• Knead a few times, until all of the flour is mixed in.
• Pat/roll dough to 3/4" and cut out biscuits; place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes, until slightly brown.

Steps:

• At bedtime make a batter of the half cup of starter, cup of milk, and 1 cup of the flour.
• Let set overnight if the biscuits are wanted for breakfast.
• If wanted for noon, the batter maybe mixed in the morning and set in a warm place to rise.
• However, unless the weather is real warm, it is always all right to let it ferment overnight.
• It will get very light and bubbly.
• When ready to mix the biscuits, sift together the remaining cup and a half of flour and all other dry ingredients except the baking soda.
• Work in the lard or shortening with your fingers or a fork.
• Add baking soda dissolved in a little warm water to the sponge and then add the flour mixture.
• Mix into a soft dough.
• Knead lightly a few times to get in shape.
• Roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness or a little thicker,and cut with a biscuit cutter.
• Place close together in a 9 x 13-inch pan, turning to grease tops.
• Cover and set in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 to 35 minutes.
• Leftovers are good split and toasted in a sandwich toaster.

Steps:

• Prepare the Sourdough Starter the night before. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle yeast in the starter and stir. Add sugar and stir. Add salt and stir. Add baking powder and stir. Add oil and then gradually add flour. Place dough on a floured board and sprinkle more flour on top of dough. Flatten dough by hand and then cut with a biscuit cutter. Spray a 16-inch Dutch oven with non-stick cooking spray and then add a little oil to the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place biscuits in Dutch oven, being careful not to overcrowd them. Top with melted butter and set aside to let rise until wrinkles are gone. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water and whisk to combine. Add sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves. Add sifted flour, 1 cup at a time, whisking after each addition to combine. Peel, wash, and grate the raw potato and add it to the flour mixture. Place starter in a very clean, wide bowl, cover it with a towel, and let rest in a warm place overnight. The starter should be made ahead of time, even 3 to 4 days ahead.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
• Cut in the shortening and margarine until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Pour the buttermilk and milk into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 3/4 cup.
• Pour this into the dry ingredients.
• Mix lightly and quickly with your hands to form a dough moist enough to leave the sides of the bowl.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
• Knead by turning the dough away from you, pressing down with palms of hands, and pushing the dough away.
• Repeat 6 or 7 times.
• Work the dough into a large ball while kneading. Keep your fingers dry by dipping them into dry flour regularly.
• Pinch off portions of dough and place them on a well-greased baking sheet.
• Press lightly to flatten the biscuits slightly.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Cut in shortening with a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Cover bowl& refrigerate for about 30 minutes (this step can be skipped, but it makes the dough easier to handle if it's cold).
• Make a well in the center of the mixture& add milk all at once.
• Stir just until dough clings together.
• Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently 10-12 strokes (don't over-knead or handle dough too much, or it will become tough).
• Roll or pat dough to 1/2" thickness.
• Cut with a floured 2 1/2" biscuit cutter--cut straight down to the board, then twist& lift cutter--dipping cutter into flour after each cut.
• Transfer biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet.
• Place biscuits so they're almost touching, and press two fingers lightly into top of each biscuit.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden.
• Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
• *Note:Placing biscuits close together on baking sheet helps them to rise, as they"climb" on each other.
• Also, pressing your fingers into the center of each biscuit keeps the middles from rising higher than the sides.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
• Add sugar, salt, sourdough starter and flour. Mix well.
• Cover; set in a warm spot and let rise until doubled in bulk.
• Punch dough down, and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Roll out dough to 3/4 inch thickness.
• Cut with a biscuit cutter.
• If desired, dip both sides in butter. (I skip this step.).
• Place biscuits on a well-greased baking sheet.
• Let rise 15 minutes.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
