Best Food Processor Biscuits To Die For Recipes

FLUFFY HOMEMADE BISCUITS RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice butter into 1/2" cubes and refrigerate until needed.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Whisk thoroughly.
• Add diced cold butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry blender (or two knives or a fork), until the largest butter pieces are pea-sized.
• Add 1 cup - minus 2 Tbsp of Half and Half all at once and stir until mixture comes together and is mostly moistened. Do not over-mix.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface. If dough is very sticky, lightly sprinkle the top with flour.
• Pat dough into a rectangle then fold it in half and pat into another rectangle. Fold a second time and pat into a 5"x10" rectangle or 3/4" thickness. Dip a 2 1/2" round biscuit cutter into flour and cut out 8 biscults. Pull together scraps and form into a rectangle to cut an extra 2 biscuits.
• Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet 1-inch apart and bake at 450˚F for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and biscuits are baked through. While bicuits are hot, brush tops with 1/2 Tbsp melted butter. Transfer to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes then serve.

FOOD PROCESSOR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into the bowl of food processor. Pulse until well mixed.
• Cut butter into pieces, then add to flour. Pulse until you see pea size pieces.
• Add milk to dry ingredients, then pulse again five to ten times, just until it comes together.
• Liberally flour a surface and knead dough on it briefly. Add flour as needed to keep it from sticking to you or the counter.
• Pat dough into a rectangle about an inch thick. Cut into nine squares or rounds.
• Place biscuits onto baking sheet with a silpat about 1/2 inch apart. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden.

GO-TO BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Pulse the flour in a food processor with the baking powder, sugar and salt.
• Add the butter and pulse until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Add the buttermilk and pulse a couple of times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated.
• Turn out on to a floured surface and pat into a thick 8-by-8 inch square. Cut into sixteen 2-inch square biscuits. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet, brush with buttermilk and bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

ALL-PURPOSE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a food processor. Cut butter into pats and add to flour, then pulse 5 or 6 times until the mixture resembles rough crumbs. (Alternatively, cut butter into flour in the mixing bowl using a fork or a pastry cutter.) Return dough to bowl, add milk and stir with a fork until it forms a rough ball.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and pat it down into a rough rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold it over and gently pat it down again. Repeat. Cover the dough loosely with a kitchen towel and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
• Gently pat out the dough some more, so that the rectangle is roughly 10 inches by 6 inches. Cut dough into biscuits using a floured glass or biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter when cutting; this crimps the edges of the biscuit and impedes its rise.
• Place biscuits on a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

BEATEN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Line two baking sheets with the dull side of aluminum foil facing up. Set aside. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse to combine flour and salt. Add butter and shortening, and pulse until the mixture resembles fine meal. With the machine running, pour in milk and ice water through the feed tube. Mix until most of the dough has formed a ball, then continue to process for 2 minutes.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees, with a rack in the center. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. The dough will appear wet and slick. Sprinkle top of dough lightly with flour. Use a rolling pin to beat across the top of the dough, beating in the flour, until the dough is about 10 inches long and 1/2 inch thick in size. Fold up the dough loosely into thirds, sprinkle again with flour, and beat flour in. Stretch out the dough again until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the dough again with flour, and repeat process for about 10 minutes. The dough will become very smooth, and little bubbles will form in it. As the dough is beaten with the flour and folded, very thin layers form in the dough.
• When the dough is smooth and satiny, roll out until about 3/8 inch thick. Cut out biscuit rounds with a 1 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Transfer the rounds to prepared baking sheets, placing them about 1 inch apart. Prick each round twice with the tines of a small fork, poking fork all the way down through the dough to the baking sheet.
• One sheet at a time, bake the biscuits 15 minutes; reduce heat to 200 degrees. Continue to bake until biscuits are golden brown on the bottom but not colored on the top; biscuits will dry out in center as well. Watch carefully, this can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes more. The biscuits actually turn a very slight white-pink color when done; they should not be golden or brown on top at all. Continue to sprinkle any remaining dough with flour, and beat and bake any scraps of dough until all the dough has been used. Biscuits freeze well in an airtight container, up to 1 month.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS - FOOD PROCESSOR

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor.
• 2. Cut the butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles course meal. If using a food processor, just pulse a few times until this consistency is achieved.
• 3. Add the buttermilk and mix just until combined. If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. It should be very wet. Turn the dough out onto a floured board.
• 4. Gently pat the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times, gently press the dough down to a 1 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut into rounds.
• 5. If you like soft sides, place the biscuits touching each other on a lightly greased cookie sheet. If you like crunchy sides, put them about 1 inch apart these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together. I brushed the biscuits with milk, and cracked some fresh black pepper on top. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes ( do not over bake )
• 6. Enjoy with sausage gravy, jam, honey or just a slather of butter.
