Homemade Biscuits

 Delicious Homemade Biscuits


    Welcome back everyone! Today I will be sharing a recipe for homemade biscuits. As I mentioned in my first post, I love to have nice warm biscuits and gravy for breakfast, so for my next post, I will explain how to make homemade sausage gravy.

   
Ingredients You Will Need
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter (it is recommended that you keep your butter as cold as possible)
  • 3/4 cup of whole milk (2% or buttermilk will work as well)
  • Optional: parchment paper for your cookie sheet and pastry cutter to cut your butter
  • Recommended: Biscuit cutter
                        

How to Make The Biscuits

To start, it is recommended that you place your butter in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes before making the biscuits, the colder the butter the better your biscuits will turn out.

You need to preheat the oven to 425 degrees and prepare the cookie sheet you plan to use by lining it with parchment paper. Set that aside for later.

Next, you will need to combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl and mix it together. Set that aside for later as well.

After that, remove your butter from the freezer and cut it into your flour mixture using a pastry cutter. Combine the butter and flour mixture until you have something that resembles coarse crumbs.

Now it is time to add your milk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir the mixture until it is combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Transfer your dough to a well-floured surface. Use your hands to gently work the dough together. If the dough feels like it is too sticky, add flour as needed.

Fold the dough in half over itself and gently flatten it out with your hands. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat this 5-6 times.

Use your hands to flatten the dough down to about one inch thick. Use your biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits. While doing so, make sure you make close cuts. Once you cut as many biscuits as you can, rework the dough so you can get a few more biscuits out of it. 

Place your biscuits on the cookie sheet less than 1/2 inch apart and place in the 425 degree oven. Bake them for about 12 minutes or until the tops are turning lightly golden brown. 

Remove your biscuits from the oven and coat them with some butter if desired. 

I hope you all enjoy this recipe for homemade biscuits. Keep an eye out for my next blog post where I will outline the recipe for homemade sausage gravy to make with your biscuits!

      Hello everyone! My name is Katlyn. I am a college student making a blog for a homework assignment in my Computer Science class. The topic I will be posting about with each blog post will be a new recipe. I have chosen to write about different recipes because I am interested in learning how to make new types of food from scratch. Each post will be a different recipe from the last. My goal with this blog is to help myself and others to find new delicious recipes to make foods that maybe we have never thought about making before or to make it easier for someone to find a recipe they have been looking to make.      I have several recipes picked out to post about over the next few days. The first one I am going to talk about how to make homemade biscuits and the second one will be about homemade sausage gravy. I love to have warm biscuits and gravy for breakfast and would love to learn how to make them myself. Another recipe I know I will be posting about shortly is a yummy chili. Chi

  Buffalo Chicken Dip Welcome back! Today I will be teaching you how to make a recipe that I love to make. It is simple and takes minimum effort to complete. This is one recipe on my blog that I have actually made before and it is delicious.  Ingredients You Will Need: 2 8 oz. squares of cream cheese 1 cup of ranch dressing 3/4 cup of your favorite hot sauce (I usually add more than the 3/4 cup, I like a bit of a kick) 1 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese 2 10 oz. cans of chicken breast tortilla chips for dipping in the dip 1 crock pot How to Make the Dip: Start by turning the crock pot on high to get it nice and warm. Add the cream cheese and allow it to soften up so it is easier to stir in with the rest of the ingredients. Once the cream cheese has started to soften up, add your ranch and hot sauce. I add these two ingredients next because once they start to get warm it helps with melting the cheese.  Now that the cream cheese has nearly melted and you have added your ranch and hot s
