Angel Biscuit Rolls Recipes

HOMEMADE ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• First, proof the yeast by add warm water and sugar to a glass measuring cup or bowl.
• Stir in the yeast.
• Let yeast proof while moving on the next step.
• In a large bowl, sift or whisk together sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
• Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles small crumbs.
• Make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the yeast mixture and buttermilk, stirring to combine just the yeast and buttermilk.
• Next begin pushing the flour mixture into the well, until everything is combined and a dough has formed.
• Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out on the work surface.
• Gently knead the dough to incorporate all the crumbs until you have a mound of soft, pliable dough.
• Fold the dough several times (this will create layers in your finished biscuits.)
• Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
• Using a floured 2.5 inch round biscuit cutter, cut out 8-10 biscuits. (do not twist the cutter, simply go straight down and pull up)
• Place biscuits on a lightly greased pan, about 1/2 inch apart. ( My 9-inch pan held 8 biscuits)
• Cover pan loosely with plastic wrap and place in a very warm, draft-free location. (I put mine in the oven with just the pilot light on)
• Let rise for 1-hour and then preheat oven to 400 F.
• Remove plastic wrap and gently brush the tops with a light coating of heavy whipping cream. (This will help with browning)
• Bake for 10-12 minutes. (check on it at the 8-minute mark) Turn the oven to a low broil during the last minute to create golden tops (be sure to watch it constantly while broiling to prevent burning)
• Brush with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

Steps:

• Stir together warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a small bowl. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl; cut cold butter and shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 forks until crumbly. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; chill at least 2 hours or up to 5 days.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 3 or 4 times. Gently roll into a ½-inch-thick circle, and fold in half; repeat. Gently roll to 1⁄2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch round cutter. Reroll remaining scraps, and cut with cutter. Place rounds with sides touching in a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet or on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. (If using a 10-inch skillet, place remaining biscuits on a baking sheet.) Brush biscuits with 2 Tbsp. of the melted butter.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush with remaining melted butter, and serve.

• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch round cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheets, barely touching each other. Cover, and let rise in a warm place free from drafts for 1 hour, or until almost doubled in size. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until browned.

• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in yeast mixture and just enough buttermilk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
• Place dough on generously floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 25 to 30 times, sprinkling with flour if dough is too sticky. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Brush with butter. Serve hot.
