NEVER-FAIL YEAST BISCUITS



Never-Fail Yeast Biscuits image

A high-rising yeast biscuit that still tastes like a baking powder one. If I want biscuits for breakfast, I make up the batter the night before and let it rest in the bowl, covered, on the counter overnight. In the morning, I just flop it out on a floured surface, fold it a few times, pat it out, cut and bake.

Time 30m

Yield 18 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 Tbs. vinegar added)

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in water, set aside.
  • Mix dry ingredients in order given, then cut in shortening until it's the size of small beans.
  • Stir in the buttermilk and yeast mixture. Dough will be very sticky.
  • Cover bowl with towel and let sit until ready to use. (At least 1 hour, but it is fine if it sits for a couple hours.)
  • Scrape out onto well floured board. Flip the dough over and knead or fold lightly (4-6 times).
  • Roll out about 1/2" thickness and cut with sharp biscuit cutter. (Cutting with a dull cutter or water glass "seals" the dough and won't let the biscuit rise as they should.)
  • Place on lightly greased baking sheet and let raise slightly (10-30 minutes).
  • Bake at 400º F until light brown, 10-12 minutes.

TWO INGREDIENT NEVER-FAIL CREAM BISCUITS



Two Ingredient Never-Fail Cream Biscuits image

The easiest biscuits ever. [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] These two-ingredient biscuits have one of the lowest effort-to-greatness ratios of any recipe I can think of. They take practically no effort or practice to pull off, yet produce some of the lightest, tenderest, tastiest biscuits around. Why It Works It takes only two ingredients to make these light and tender biscuits. Read the Whole Story * Self-rising flour is softer than standard wheat flour which makes for more tender biscuits. * Heavy cream takes the place of the butter and buttermilk in a standard biscuit recipe. Serious Eats Two Ingredient Never-Fail Cream Biscuits Reading Options: Cooking Mode Text Only Ingredients * 10 ounces (about 2 cups) self-rising flour * 2 tablespoons sugar (if making sweet shortcake-style biscuits) * 10 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) heavy cream, plus more for brushing Directions * 1. Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 450°F. Place flour in a large bowl. If making sweet biscuits, whisk in sugar. Stirring with a wooden spoon, drizzle in cream. Stir until a lumpy dough is formed. Do not over mix. * 2. For Drop Biscuits: Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush tops with cream and bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve. * 3. For Flaky Rolled Biscuits: With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12-inch square. Using a bench scraper, fold the right third of the dough over the center, then fold the left third over so you end up with a 12-by-4-inch rectangle. Fold the top third down over the center, then fold the bottom third up so the whole thing is reduced to a 4-inch square. Press the square down and roll it out again into a 12-inch square. Repeat the folding process once more, then roll the dough again into a 12-inch square. Use a 3- to 4-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Press together scraps to form additional biscuits. Brush tops with cream and bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve.
