    Biscuit Cooking Tips

    Recipe



    Biscuit Tips:

    • Want variety? Make biscuits extra large or small; roll them out thin; or, make them tall, crisp or soft, buttermilk or plain milk. They can be dropped from a spoon, cut with a knife, a floured biscuit cutter or a floured glass.

    • Always sift dry ingredients together for even distribution of leavening. Otherwise, yellow or brown flecks result.

    • For tender, flaky biscuits, cut shortening in thoroughly, using two knives, a fork or a pastry blender, until dough resembles meal.

    • To make a soft dough, stir the liquid into the dry ingredients just until the dough leaves the side of the bowl and forms a ball. Knead gently 10 to 12 strokes to blend all ingredients and assure tall, plump, evenly textured biscuits. Kneading with the fingertips helps avoid over handling.

    • Cut dough straight down. Do not twist.

    • For crusty biscuits, place ¾ inch apart for baking. For softer ones, place closer together. For a golden color, brush raw tops with milk.
