Dipping Biscuits Recipes

DIPPING BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix butter and mashed potato. Sift in flour add salt and mix by hand. Knead, wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out dough to 1/3-inch thick. Cut into 3-inch strips, brush with egg, top with fennel and bake on a greased sheet pan for 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

BUTTER DIP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a microwave-safe bowl (or you can use the baking dish that you'll be baking these in), melt butter in the microwave.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until a loose dough forms. Batter will be a bit sticky.
• Press biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter). Take a sharp knife and cut the biscuit dough into 9 squares before baking.
• Bake for about 20-25 minutes, rotating dish once during baking.

BUTTER-DIPPED BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Heat butter in square pan, 9x9x2 inches, in oven until melted.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Add milk; stir with fork about 30 strokes or just until soft dough forms.
• Turn dough onto well-floured surface. Roll dough around to coat with flour. Knead lightly about 10 times. Roll or pat into 8-inch square.
• Cut dough into 9 strips with floured knife. Dip each strip into melted butter, coating both sides. Arrange strips close together in pan.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.

EASIEST EVER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the butter in a bowl and beat it with electric beaters until soft and creamy. Beat in the sugar, then the egg and vanilla, and finally the flour to make a dough. If the dough feels a bit sticky, add a little bit more flour and knead it in.
• Pull pieces off the dough and roll them out to about the thickness of two £1 coins on a floured surface. The easiest way to do this with small children is to roll the mixture out on a baking mat. Cut out shapes using a 9cm biscuit cutter, or a use the rim of a small glass and peel away the leftover dough around the edges. Press some clean toys gently into the biscuits, making sure you make enough of a mark without going all the way through. Re-roll off-cuts and repeat.
• Transfer the whole mat or the individual biscuits to the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins or until the edges are just brown. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then serve. Will keep for three days in a biscuit tin.
