    Recipe is behind paywall. Here is list of ingredients:
    3 cups King Arthur All Purpose flour (for higher protein content)
    • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
    • 4 tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • 1 ½ tsp salt
    • 2 sticks unsalted butter (1 cup), frozen and grated except last Tbsp of each stick which is set aside
    • 1 ¼ cup buttermilk
    Five triple folds. Chill for half an hour. Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes rotating half way through.

      ​@@Appaddict01 Imagine biscuits with the chew of pizza dough. It might not be an issue if you don't overwork the dough and keep everything ice cold, but when you get a bunch of gluten in there, it can result in tough biscuits. AP flour would help prevent the dough from getting too tough. Also high gluten = really tough to roll out.
      If you have a ton of bread flour kicking around, you could "dilute" it with some cake flour. You want to bring something that could be 13% protein to about 10% protein.

    Made these today. Used King Arthur flour and a package of Kerrygold butter. The butter in the large block was easy to grate and although the butter was salted, the biscuits were perfect in texture and taste. This recipe is a little time consuming but the results are amazing.

    3 cups All-Purpose Flour
    2 Tbsp Sugar
    4 Tsps Baking Powder
    1/2 tsp Baking Soda
    1 1/2 tsp Table Salt
    2 sticks of unsalted butter
    1 1/4 cups of cold buttermilk.
    Coat frozen butter sticks in flour and grate all but I tablespoon of each stick. Save remaining 2 tablespoons for later.
    Add grated butter to the flour mixture. Gently coat grated butter with the flour by tossing it through your fingers.. do not work butter into the flour yet.
    Add buttermilk to mixture and stir only until just combined. Will still be very shaggy.
    Tip the mixture onto a floured surface and form gently (by touching it as little as possible with your hands to avoid overly warming it) into a rectangle.
    Roll the dough into a 9x12in rectangle and fold like a business letter. Turn the folded rectangle with the short side toward you and repeat this four more times (5 rolls and folds total).
    Make sure finished rectangle is a half inch thick when finished and set on a baking sheet to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes covered with plastic wrap.
    Flour a sharp knife and cut a quarter inch off of each side of the rectangle. Then cut biscuits into equal portioned squares.
    Place biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush the tops with the melted 2 tablespoons of butter from earlier, and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 400°s on the upper middle rack for 25 minutes. Rotate halfway through.
    Let cool for 15 minutes to keep biscuits from drying out.

      It's a waste of time the easiest is to squeeze butter cubes between fingers in the dough. As you roll they become flaten out further into layers. If you grate you run the chance of them melting faster.

    • @Marialla.
      @Marialla. 2 роки тому

      Let me make your life easy: Fix a batch of Bisquick biscuits up to the stirred-dough stage. Do not knead, but roll the shaggy dough and cut it in half. Layer some butter on one half, and stack them. Roll, cut, and stack 8-10 times total, then bake as usual. Saves you the measuring and finding ingredients, and you don't need anything special. It's the technique that matters most, not the recipe!

      @Marialla. 2 роки тому +1

      @@patrickevans3797 I'd use softened but not melted butter, for easiest. Be a little generous with it!
      If soft butter isn't available, cut squares or grated bits will be fine. Again, the deal is just to get a layer of fat in there which won't absorb into the dough but will create layers.
      Heck, if you like that sort of thing you could even use bacon grease! (Very Southern!) That'd be a savory choice.

    Fantastic recipe and lots of helpful tips. Thank you. I've recently switched to Trader Joe's ORGANIC UNBLEACHED All-Purpose Flour from King Arthur Flour. I paid $4.99 for TJ's and KAF is $6.95 and extra for shipping. I hadn't caught that KAF isn't ORGANIC so TJ's is an upgrade at a lower price. The protein percentage of Trader Joe's is 13.3% so it's higher than KAF! I'm eating a biscuit right now as I type this comment. Easy to follow recipe I just made for the first time today and it turned out exactly like yours. I'm so happy.

But have 1 each left over (I cut them and made 10 tall flaky ones) so breakfast tomorrow will be sausage egg & cheese biscuits! Best recipe ever!

    Instead of folding the dough, I cut it with my bench scraper and layer it as I go. Then I don't have to trim the edges at the end because there are no folds to hinder the dough rising.
    This type of biscuit is what cotton candy would be if it were a biscuit! Incredibly airy and tender!

      So instead of folding the slab onto itself you just cut it in half and stack it onto itself 5 times?

    • @Marialla.
      @Marialla. 2 роки тому +3

      @@chrisjones1849 Yes, except it's like 8-10 times. You just do it until you feel the dough come together and begin to feel just a little springy.
      At 8 times there 250 layers. At 10 there are 1000. So that's plenty. And with no folded edges they really rise well and are so delicate!

    I have been trying to find the perfect biscuit. And I found it!! These are the best biscuits ever!! I wish I could double this but I don’t think it would turn out as well. You can not make these biscuits if you are in a hurry to make biscuits. So make sure you have plenty of time when making these. The hardest for me was shredding the butter but that definitely makes a huge difference in the flakiness of the biscuits. I made hamburger gravy to put on the biscuits.

    I use powdered milk. I use the grater trick all the time. Chill the flour too! I use a white wine glass to cut the biscuits then space 1/4" apart. It's important to rest between rolls. Use a pizza wheel for square biscuits.
