Who can make the best homemade biscutts?

Question

what type flour u use? or where do u buy your biscutts?

Answer 1

Biscuits are so easy...

1 cup of flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
a drizzle of salt (or a pinch if you prefer)
1/4 cup of margarine, butter, vegetable shortening or lard
1/3 + cup milk

Put the flour and salt into a small bowl and mix together. Cut the margarine (or whatever other product your have chosen to use) into the flour until you have a mixture resembling rolled oats. Add just enough milk to bid the flour mixture together. You do not want your dough to be sticky, but you DO want all of your dough binding together. Experimentation will give you the exact amount to use.

You could do the dough rolling thing, but I have just find it easier to take a tablespoon of dough up with a spoon and to roll it lightly between my palms, then place it onto a greased baking sheet, and cook at 400 for about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven when lightly browned.

To add different flavours, experiment with different spices thrown into the dry ingredients...eg. rosemary, or thyme

I sometimes add dried parmesan cheese to the mix if I am serving the biscuits with a Tomato based stew.

Answer 3

I used to think I did, until a friend turned me on to the frozen Pillsbury Southern Style,in a bag and ready to bake. If you follow directions you will be surprised at the quality of the results. Quite a time saver too, but not good for the waistline...

My grandmother. Martha White Self-Rising flour. Or I buy frozen biscuits from whatever grocery I'm in.
