Food Processor Biscuits Recipes

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.

QUICK FOOD PROCESSOR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
• Put the flour, baking powder and salt in the food processor. Pulse several times to mix.
• If your shortening is hard cut it up before dropping on the food processor. Pulse until shortening is in bits about the size of small peas.
• Add milk and pulse until dough comes together.
• Dump on to a floured board and knead for a minute or two.
• Roll to 1/2 inch thick and cut dough with a floured biscuit cutter.
• Brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking on a lightly greased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes.

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.

FOOD PROCESSOR BISCUITS TO DIE FOR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place ingredients in food processor work bowl and pulse until blended into a big ball.
• Take out and pat on floured surface, using a light touch to roll or pat into a 3/4 inch-thick-mass. Cut into circles or other shapes.
• Place close together on a heavy cookie sheet. Bake 6 minutes, watching biscuits carefully.

DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Pulse in the butter just a few times, until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the milk and pulse just until the dough comes together.
• Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of dough with a cup measure or ice cream scoop onto the baking sheet (about 10 scoops). Brush the tops lightly with milk. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Mash butter with dill, capers, lemon zest and juice.
• Puree butter with mango chutney and curry powder.
• Puree butter with maple syrup and adobo sauce.
