Heavenly Angel Biscuits Recipes

ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and yeast.
• Cut in the butter and shortening using a pastry knife or work it in with your hands just until pea sized pieces of butter remain.
• Add the buttermilk and stir just until combined.
• Transfer the dough to a well floured surface and pat it out into a square that's about 1 inch thick. Fold the square in half and pat it out again. Rotate the dough and fold in half again and pat out again until 1 inch thick.
• Use a 2 or 2 ¼ inch biscuit cutter, dipped in flour, to cut out the biscuits. Don't twist the biscuit cutter, just push down and pull up.
• Place biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet or cast iron skillet and cover with plastic wrap or a light towel. Let rest for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush melted butter on the top of the biscuits and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Brush the hot biscuits with additional melted butter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
• 2. In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast, stirring to dissolve. Add sugar, stirring to dissolve. Let mixture stand for 5 minutes or until foamy. Add to flour mixture. Gradually add buttermilk, stirring to combine. Dough will be sticky. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• 3. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough, and pat to ¾-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut dough, rerolling scraps as needed. Place biscuits on prepared pan, and let stand at room temperature for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
• 4. Preheat oven to 425°. Bake biscuits for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

AIRY ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together into a large bowl. Transfer half of the dry ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and cut in the cold butter, pulsing, until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces of butter still remaining. Transfer the mixture back to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the yeast mixture and buttermilk. Stir until a dough forms and turn out onto a floured board. Kneed until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes.
• Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch, and cut out 1 1/2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter. Set the biscuits 2 inches apart on the baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and bake until lightly golden (they should not brown), 10 to 12 minutes.
