Does anyone have a good recipe for american style homemade biscuits?!
Answers: im not american but i love the savoury biscuits eaten in the u.s. i want t o make them at home help appreciated!
Indeed I do. Sift together 2C sifted self-rising flour, a scant 1/4t baking powder and 1/4t bking soda into a large mixing bowl. With a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut in 1/2C butter until it is the size of BB,s. Make a well in the mixture, add 3/4C buttermilk and stir until just moistened. Turn out onto a floured board and knead 3 - 4 times--the more you mess with it, the tougher the biscuits. Roll to 3/4" thick, cut with a 2" biscuit cutter and bake on a lgihtly greased sheet @ 450 for 10 - 12 minutes. brush with melted butter.
According to Dennis Rogers, these biscuits will make weak men strong, pretty girls blush and children mind their manners.
