Stovetop Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients.
• Cut in margarine with a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingers.
• Stir in milk.
• Form dough into 12 biscuits.
• Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in an iron skillet over medium/low heat.
• Fry half of the biscuits for about 6 minutes on each side, and drain on paper towels.
• Repeat with 2 more tablespoons of margarine and remaining dough.

Steps:

• Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Cut in shortening or butter.
• Add and lightly mix buttermilk.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1/2 minute.
• Pat the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
• Cut with a biscuit cutter (or knife, depending on what shape you like).
• If you want to bake the biscuits, bake 10-12 minutes at 450.
• For skillet biscuits:.
• Cook the biscuits on a lightly greased hot skillet/griddle about 1 inch apart.
• Use your best judgement as to the heat - I generally use a more moderate flame and brown biscuits 3 to 4 minutes each side, though the original recipe says to brown them for 5-7 minutes each side over high heat.
• As mentioned above - the biscuits will not be light and fluffy like with baked biscuits - so don't wait for them to rise and be puffy. They will be more dense.
• The best approach is to keep an eye on them and turn them when they are browned and dry-looking on one side before turning them over.

Steps:

• 1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
• 2. Add lard and mix in with fingers until mixture is mealy.
• 3. Add milk and mix until smooth dough forms.
• 4. Divide dough in half and work each half into 6 balls. Flatten balls to about 1/4 thick.
• 5. Melt one or two tablespoons lard in a medium cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
• 6. Working in 2 batches, add first 6 pieces of dough to skillet and fry until brown, about 6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and repeat with second batch. Serve with Sausage Gravy. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/stovetop-biscuits-with-sausage-gravy.html
