Biscuits 5
Ingredients
- 2 c Flour (Plain)
- 1 t sugar (can reduce or omit)
- 1 T baking powder
- 1 t salt
- 8 T butter (unsalted) (cold, cubed)
- 3/4 c milk (at most; add gradually)
Method
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into the mixture until it begins to look like cornmeal.
Make a well in the flour mixture and slowly add milk into the middle, a bit at a time. Knead dough with your fingers and add milk when necessary. Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface to desired thickness. Cut with small biscuit cutter.
Butter the bottom of a skillet and place the biscuits in the pan. Cook on the stovetop for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
SJ Note: This recipe didn't work for me. If you try it, be sure to cook them over a LOW heat. Since most biscuits go into a piping hot oven, I put the pan on high heat, but the bottoms just burnt to a crisp. They didn't rise, and they weren't tasty (I'd cut off the burnt bit). Perhaps there's a lot that got left out of the recipe write-up; that seems to happen a lot with foodnetwork's recipes. If you're inclined to try this recipe, I'd suggest seeing if you could find the relevant clip from the show to watch first.
