Best Flaky Angel Biscuits Recipes
ANGEL BISCUITS
Light, flaky and divine, there's a reason we call these biscuits angelic. This classic homemade angel biscuit recipe uses not one, but three types of leavening agents including yeast, baking powder and baking soda, resulting in the fluffiest biscuits imaginable. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast with a spoonful of jam or serve them as a side at the dinner table, these simple buns can go from kitchen to table in under an hour, making them an easy addition to any meal. To give these homemade angel biscuits their heavenly glow, brush them with melted butter the moment they come out of the oven.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°. Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in yeast mixture and just enough buttermilk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
- Place dough on generously floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 25 to 30 times, sprinkling with flour if dough is too sticky. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Brush with butter. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Stir the warm water and honey in a small bowl until dissolved, then stir in the yeast; set aside until creamy or foamy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a large bowl.
- Add the cut-up butter to the flour mixture and work it in with your fingertips until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and buttermilk. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the flour is completely moistened and the dough looks like a shaggy ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough is doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Lightly brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate or 9- to 10-inch cast-iron skillet with melted butter. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and briefly knead three or four times until smooth. Pat until 1 inch thick; fold in half like a book and pat to 1 inch thick again. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat folding and patting two more times. Cut out rounds using a 2 1/4-inch biscuit cutter (dip the cutter in flour if the dough is sticky). Gently knead the scraps together once to cut out more biscuits. You should have about 10. Place them close together in the pan. Cover and refrigerate until the biscuits rise and are cold and firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Brush the tops of the biscuits generously with melted butter. Bake until browned on top and firm in the spots where the biscuits meet, 20 to 25 minutes. Brush again with more melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt. Let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes, then slide out.

I found this recipe in one of my cooking light magazines. These biscuits are easy to make and they have a great taste. I used 3 C. white flour and 2 C. wheat flour and vegetable oil instead of the shortening and they turned out perfect!!

ANGEL BISCUITS
I remember exactly when I first encountered these celestial biscuits. It was in the early 1970s as I prowled the South in search of great grassroots cooks to feature in a new series I was writing for Family Circle magazine. Through county home demonstration agents, I obtained the names of the local women who'd won prizes at the county and state fairs. I then interviewed two or three of them in each area before choosing my subject. And all, it seemed, couldn't stop talking about "this fantastic new biscuit recipe" that was all the rage-something called Angel Biscuits. The local cookbooks I perused also featured Angel Biscuits, often two or three versions of them in a single volume. Later, when I began researching my American Century Cookbook, I vowed to learn the origin of these feathery biscuits. My friend Jeanne Voltz, for years the Woman's Day food editor, thought that Angel Biscuits descended from an old Alabama recipe called Riz Biscuits, which she remembered from her childhood. Helen Moore, a freelance food columnist living near Charlotte, North Carolina, told me that a home economics professor of hers at Winthrop College in South Carolina had given her the Angel Biscuits recipe back in the 1950s. "I remember her saying, 'I've got a wonderful new biscuit recipe. It's got yeast in it.' " Others I've queried insist that Angel Biscuits were created at one of the fine southern flour millers; some say at White Lily, others at Martha White (and both are old Nashville companies). In addition to the soft flour used to make them, Angel Biscuits owe their airiness to three leavenings: yeast, baking powder, and baking soda. Small wonder they're also called "bride's biscuits." They are virtually foolproof.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- 2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the texture of coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and yeast mixture and toss briskly with a fork just until the mixture forms a soft dough.
- 3. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and with floured hands, knead lightly for about a minute. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until 5/8 inch thick; then, using a well-floured 2 1/2- to 2 3/4-inch cutter, cut into rounds. Place on ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Gather scraps, reroll, and cut as before.
- 4. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuits are nicely puffed and pale tan on top. Serve at once with plenty of butter.
