Directions
Mama’s ‘ Bestest’ Biscuits, My kids named ’em this ‘cuz they is so good! LOL Great with soups, stews, jams, jellies or just by themselves. Who ever said homemade was hard just didn’t know Mama! Extra note: Edited 3/07 to answer questions and help you make these come out perfectly. You can even add garlic powder and cheese to make those ‘famous restaurant type’ biscuits, BUT BETTER. Edited 8/08 to add yes these are basic biscuits. To add additional flavor try adding in herbs and seasonings as stated in the previous edit above. Onion powder, garlic powder, fresh cracked black pepper, herbs like oregano or rosemary. You could even brush the top with melted butter when done baking or add some Butter Buds or Molly McButter if you like. This also doubles very easily. and again 11-08 This dough is very wet and sticky. Make sure your hands are well floured and gently press into shape to knead- do not knead vigorously, you will have a mess. Gently pat and use a kneading motion to gently fold the dough into itself and form into a square shape., I suggest you keep a very close eye on these as the cook because while some people are reporting theirs did not brown, mine became hockey pucks long before the 15 minutes was up. Like a buscuit encased in pie crust. =<, Just made this recipe. They did not Brown after 15 minutes. Didn't want to leave at the extra 5 minutes because I was afraid they would get hard did I miss something?

Add the Second Measure of Flour to the Board and Coat Your Hands. Turn Out the Dough Onto the Floured Board or Counter Top. Sprinkle Some Extra Flour on Top of the Dough. Just Enough to Make the Dough Easier For You to Work With and not So Sticky. You Want to Get It Just to the not Too Sticky Point but not Add So Much Flour That They Become Dense. It Is Hard to Say How Much as This Varies With the Climate and Humidity. |
