Amish Biscuits Recipes

AMISH BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
• Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. If you feel the flour with your hands, you should feel the butter chunks in it. That's the texture you want so don't over mix it at this point.
• Add the buttermilk and mix just until combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured pastry mat and pat it into a horizontal rectangle that is about 1 1/2 inches thick. Fold the left side of the rectangle over the right side and pat it out into a vertical rectangle. Fold the bottom half up to the top and press it out into a horizontal rectangle again. Repeat the steps above 3 times for a total of 6 folds. Be careful not to overwork the dough while you are doing this. The folding is what creates the pretty layers. Sprinkle a little flour on the layers if the dough starts getting sticky, but just pat gently and handle the dough lightly.
• After 6 folds, gently pat the dough into a rectangle that is about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp circle biscuit cutter and press down through the dough, then lift up. Do not twist the cookie cutter or shuffle it around. Just push down, then pull straight up.
• Place biscuit on a silicone baking mat.
• Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
• Bake at 475 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (without opening the oven) and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.
• Allow the biscuits to sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
• Serve warm.

AMISH TRIPLE BUTTER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• While oven is pre-heating, place ¼ cup butter in a 7x11 baking dish or 10" round skillet and place in oven to melt. (a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet really shines at creating the crispy edges, or use a glass baking dish for the prettiest job of browning).
• While the pan is in the oven blend flour, salt, cream of tartar, sugar, baking powder, and then cut in the remaining butter.
• Lightly beat 1 egg in 1 cup of milk before stirring it in the flour mixture.
• Remove the buttered pan from oven.
• Butter should be melted and just slightly browned.
• Do not knead the biscuits, but instead use a large cookie/ ice cream scoop to immediately scoop out balls of dough into the buttered pan.
• Biscuits should be nestled together somewhat tightly.
• Quickly place back into oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown.
