Rubbing method Biscuit Recipe?

Question

Who have?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Plain Biscuits – makes 50-60 (depending on the size of your cutter)
175g softened unsalted butter
200g caster sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
5ml vanilla extract
400g plain flour
5ml baking powder
5ml salt

Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4)


Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then add the eggs and vanilla, beating well after you have added them. If the mixture looks like it is going to split, then add a little flour and beat again. Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into another bowl, and then add them to the butter and eggs, mixing in gently but well. If the mixture looks too sticky to roll out, then add a little more flour, but be careful as you do so – adding too much flour will make the mixture tough.
Divide the mixture into two, wrap in clingfilm and put in the fridge to rest for an an hour or so. The dough freezes well, so you could freeze half for another day.
When you take the dough out of the fridge, sprinkle a worksurface with flour, put the unwrapped dough on the flour and sprinkle a little flour on top of it. Roll it out to about 5mm thick, then cut into shapes – dip the cutters into a little flour as you go, to prevent it from sticking.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet, and bake for 8-12 minutes until they are lightly golden around the edges – remember that they will continue to crisp up as they cool. Leave the biscuits to cool on a wire rack.

you can add nuts, chocolate and other stuff for flavoured biscuits.

Hi,

Baking Powder Biscuits:
Ingredients:
2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
4 tablespoons butter or shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
about 3/4 cup milk
Sift Flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift again. Cut in shortening or butter. (this is where I use my hands by rubbing the butter into the flour). Add milk gradually, stirring until soft dough is formed. Turn out on slightly floured board and lightly "knead" for 30 seconds, enough to shape. Roll 1/2 inch thick and cut with 2 inch floured biscuit cutter. Bake on ungreased sheet in a 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. Makes 12 biscuits. You can also make tiny tea biscuits that are only 1 1/2 inches wide with a small cutter or glass bottom. These are great served with tea, jam or honey. Makes 24.

Thyme and Cheese Biscuits:
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. fresh minced thyme
1/2 tsp. minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
Preheat over to 400 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet and set aside. Mix flour, baking powder, herbs and cheese in a large mixing bowl, using a fork. Cut in the butter. Mixture will be crumbly. Add the milk and stir until dough holds together, you may add more milk if necessary. Drop by large spoonfuls on the cookie sheet an inch apart. Bake 10-12 minutes.

Pecan Biscuits:
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups biscuit baking mix
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
Preheat over to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, combine baking mix and pecans. Add cream and stir until a soft dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out dough. Place on greased baking sheet and brush tops with butter. Bake 7-10 minutes or until light brown.

Almond Biscuits with Berry Butter:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
2 tablespoons honey
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Using a pastry blender cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Combine milk, almonds and honey. Add to butter mixture, mixing just until flour is moistened. Knead dough gently; shape into a ball. Roll out or pat down dough on a lightly floured surface to 3/4 inch thickness. Using a floured 3 inch heart shaped cutter, cut out the dough, rerolling as needed. Place about 1 inch apart on unbuttered baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with Berry Butter.

To make butter:
Place 1 stick softened butter, cut into pieces, 1/3 cup strawberry preserves and 1/4 cup sliced fresh strawberries in work bowl of food processor; process until smooth. Or, you may stir together by hand. Transfer to covered container; refrigerate until ready to use.

Yogurt Herb Biscuits:
Ingredients:
2 cups buttermilk baking mix
2/3 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
2 tablespoons snipped parsley
1 tablespoon snipped chives
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients until soft dough forms; beat an extra 20 strokes. Smooth dough into a ball on a surface dusted with baking mix. Knead 5 times. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 inch cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown; 8-10 minutes. Makes 10-12 biscuits.

I hope this will help you.
Takecare,
Cheers!
