Re: [CnD] Biscuits from scratch

2020-09-06 Thread Dani Pagador via Cookinginthedark
Hi, Rebeca.
I got the recipe I use off a YouTube channel. It makes 16 biscuits (I
use a 2-inch biscuit cutter.) We usually split the biscuits so that
there are 6 left out to snack on and 10 get vacuum sealed in pairs to
take out for reheating when one of us wants a snack. The YouTube guy
didn't freeze his butter, but I do because it is hot in Hawaii, and
the butter melts when I get it straight from the fridge because I use
my fingers to do the pastry blending. The freezing buys me some time.

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder*
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, cubed and frozen for 30 mins
1-1/2 cups buttermilk
Note: Buttermilk substitute = 2/3 cup plain yogurt plus 1/3 cup milk
for 1 cup buttermilk
1 cup yogurt plus 1/2 cup milk equals 1-1/2 cup buttermilk

*Baking powder substitute in this recipe equals:
1 tsp. baking soda
3/8 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
Cannot make baking powder substitute ahead of time and keep for later use.


Combine flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Cube
butter in to 1/2-inch pieces. Cut butter in to flour
mixture--pea-sized pieces. Pour in milk, fold in till just moistened;
add a little bit of milk if necessary to moisten. Lightly flour work
surface; pat dough out to 1/2-inch thickness; cut in to biscuits
between 2 and 3 inches. Put on baking sheet lined with parchment
paper; place with sides touching. Brush with buttermilk or melted
butter. Slide in to preheated 425dg oven, bake for 15 mins.

HTH,
Dani

Hi Rebecca, These are the biscuits I make most often:
Combine in food processor or large mixing bowl: 2 cups flour, 2 tsp.
baking powder, 1/2 tsp. Kosher or sea salt. Cut in with pastry
blender, 2 knives or food processor 1 stick very cold butter. When
mixture looks like fat crumbs, add 2/3 cup cold milk. Combine briefly
with food processor or fork. Pat out to a thickness of 3/4-1 inch, cut
out biscuits. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until
ready to bake (no longer than an hour or so), or bake immediately in
hot oven (450-degrees) for 15 minutes.

When I have more time and the buttermilk available, I make this recipe
from Martha Stewart. The biscuits are fabulous!
Buttermilk Biscuits
(A Martha Stewart Recipe)
2 cups flour
2 tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp.Baking soda
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine dry ingredients.  Cut in butter.  Combine buttermilk and cream,
and stir in with fork.

Pat dough out to 1-inch thick rectangle.  Cut out biscuits.

Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet.

Brush with more buttermilk.

Bake for 22-24 minutes, until lightly browned.

Serve immediately.


If you want to use biscuits for shortcake, add from 1-3 TBSP. sugar to
the dry ingredients.

Both of these recipes make delicious biscuits! Enjoy!
Penny

Re: [CnD] Biscuits too crumbly with homemade mix?

2020-09-01 Thread Karen Delzer via Cookinginthedark
Who knows. Maybe we all ought to just go back to lard and see how 
that works. :) :) :)

 At 09:18 AM 9/1/2020, you wrote:

The shortening has changed lately and does not feel the same.  This is good
for us because they had to get rid of the trans fats.  But is that possibly
why recipes come out a little differently than they did before?

If they come out too crumbly, maybe just use a little less.  This mix
doesn't have the chemical agents for de-clumping that are in the
store-bought mixes.

Subject: Re: [CnD] Basic Biscuit Mix Recipe and a question

Karen, I'm wondering if there's too much flour in the recipe?
Maybe the batter is too dry? Just a guess on my part. I do have a biscuit
recipe though, and even Marilyn makes them. Sorry, it doesn't include
recipes for pancakes, waffles, or dumplings, but, they turn out every time I
make them, and they do freeze well.

Subject: [CnD] Basic Biscuit Mix Recipe and a question

Hi gang,
Below, I've pasted the basic biscuit mix for making biscuits, dumplings,
pancakes and the like. But I have a question. While the recipe tastes much
better than Bisquick because of the lack of chemical taste, my biscuits just
fall apart when I try to butter them. I know that many homemade biscuits
come out great and can be sliced open to butter or whatever. I'm wondering
if some of you more seasoned cooks, (no pun intended), can look at this
recipe and tell me what I can change to make the biscuits come out better.
Any help would be appreciated!
  (Please see below).
Karen

Basic All-Purpose Baking Mix



6 cups all purpose flour

3 tablespoons baking powder

1 tablespoon salt

1 1/4 cups vegetable shortening (butter-flavored or plain)



1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

2. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse corn
meal. Store in a container with tight-fitting lid. Will keep for up to 2
months.



Makes about 2 quarts.



For Biscuits: Stir together 2 1/4 cups baking mix with 2/3 cup milk.
Knead  10 times on lightly floured surface, roll out and cut into biscuits
or skip  the kneading and simply drop dough onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 425*F

for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes about 10 biscuits.



For Pancakes: Stir together 2 cups baking mix, 1 cup milk and 2 eggs until
blended. Do not over-mix. Ladle 1/4 cupfuls onto hot greased griddle or
skillet and cook until edges are dry and top is bubbly, turn over and cook
until  golden brown. Makes about 14 pancakes.



For Waffles: Stir together 2 cups baking mix, 1 1/3 cups milk, 1 egg and 2
tablespoons vegetable oil until blended. Pour batter into center of hot
greased waffle iron and cook for 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Makes
about 12  (4-inch) waffles.



For Dumplings: Stir together 2 cups baking mix and 2/3 cup milk just until
soft dough forms. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling liquid, cover and cook for
10 minutes without lifting the lid. Makes about 10 dumplings.



Tip: For Buttermilk Baking Mix, add 9 tablespoons dry buttermilk powder to
the basic mix.
