BETTY CROCKER'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS (LIGHT, FLAKY AND TENDER)



Betty Crocker's Baking Powder Biscuits (Light, Flaky and Tender) image

I have been using this recipe for years from the first cookbook that I ever owned, my Betty Crocker's Big Red Cookbook, from my high school home economics class. I make these for my mom, and she loves them. Having my mom's seal of approval guarantees these are good because she knows her biscuits. My mom's mother (my grandma) made handmade biscuits two to three times every single day during my mom's childhood growing up on a farm.

Categories     Breads

Time 22m

Yield 7 biscuits, 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
  • Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. Cut in shortening using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk until dough leaves side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
  • Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 3/4 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 ½ -inch round cutter. Place on ungreased cooked sheet about 1 inch apart for crusty sides, touching for soft sides (I prefer crusty sides). After cutting as many biscuits as possible, lightly press-don't knead- the scraps of dough together to make 1 to 2 more biscuits.
  • Bake 10 to 12 min or until golden brown. Serve warm.
  • Note: This recipe doubles very well. Every time that I make these, I always double this recipe. To double, simply double all the ingredients. Also, the key to high-rise, flaky biscuits is having really fresh baking powder and not overworking the dough. Even if your baking powder is not expired, the biscuits will not rise if the baking powder has clumps inside the container. Also, I cannot emphasize enough to just lightly knead the dough 10 times; over-kneading will produce a tough biscuit. When you pat the dough to ¾ inch thickness, the baking powder will already be activating the dough to rise. Do not re-pat the dough down again because the air bubbles forming will make the biscuits flaky.
  • Betty Crocker's Tips for Biscuits: Tip One: One secret to making flaky biscuits is thoroughly blending or "cutting in" the shortening and dry ingredients. A pastry blender, which breaks the shortening into little lumps works great for cutting inches If you don't have one, you can crisscross two table knives through the flour and shortening or use a wire whisk.
  • Tip Two: Use a biscuit cutter dipped in flour to cut the dough, pushing the cutter straight down through the dough. If you twist as you cut, the biscuits will be uneven. Cut the biscuits as close together as possible. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, use the end of an open 6-ounce juice can or other narrow can or glass, or use cookie cutters for fun shapes. Dip in flour before cutting.

MOM'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS



Mom's Baking Powder Biscuits image

This is the recipe my mom always made. I like to use the butter flavored shortening, but you can use regular. Amount of biscuits you get depends on how big around you make them and the thickness. My daughter likes me to make smaller ones.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS



Baking Powder Biscuits image

This classic recipe makes about 8 biscuits (2 1/2 inch diameter). I like to brush melted butter on the tops after the biscuits come out of the oven. If you have leftovers, do not refrigerate. Just wrap them in plastic, and heat the next day in the oven, which is the best way to re-heat all bread products.

Categories     Quick and Easy

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups AP flour
1 tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup cold butter or cold Crisco Butter Flavor Shortening
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 F. Combine dry ingredients together. Cut in butter or shortening until dough is coarse, pea size crumbs. (I use a fork.) Add milk, combine, knead a few times. Place dough on a floured area, and pat it into a 1 inch tall round. Cut biscuits and place on a parchment lined bakig sheet. Bake 12-14 minutes. (Biscuits, in general, do not rise uniformly, so if you're new to biscuit-making, enjoy their lop-sided imperfections.)

Time 40m

Yield 15 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450.
  • Grease on 8-inch square baking pan or small baking sheet.
  • Put the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable shortening and toss it to coat with the flour. Break the chunk into 5 or 6 smaller chunks and start rubbing the flour and shortening together with your fingers and letting the mixture fall back into the bowl. This does not take long; when the mixture looks like irregular lumps you have mixed enough.
  • Add the milk all at once and stir to moisten all the flour and shortening. Dust a surface with flour, turn the dough onto the surface and knead the dough ten times.
  • Pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a two-inch cookie cutter and place on the prepared pan with a little space between the biscuits.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.
  • Serve hot with butter and honey.

  • Measure shortening/butter into the same bowl, and cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork(s). The idea is to work it in until it’s evenly distributed throughout, in very small pieces.
  • Add milk/buttermilk, stir just until dough comes together. Don’t over stir or beat it. If dough is too crumbly, add a small amount of extra milk. If the dough is sticky, add a small amount of flour.
