Homemade Biscuits Recipe

November 19th, 2007 at 12:57 pm

Someone responded to one of my entries asking how I make homemade biscuits. I use a simple and straightforward recipe.

She also asked what Sticky Chicken is. The Sticky Chicken recipe I use is here:

And here's the biscuit recipe I use:

Rod's Biscuits

2 to 2 1/2 c flour
3 heaping tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 to 1/2 c oil
1 1/2 c milk (powdered milk works)

Sift the flour, salt and the baking powder into a large bowl. If you don’t have a sifter, go buy one. They’re cheap and the biscuits will be much fluffier after sifting. Add the oil and milk until you have a fairly stiff mixture. If the mixture is too runny, you can add some more flour to thicken it.

In another bowl, pour some flour into the bottom (roughly 1/2 cup). With a large spoon, scoop out enough of the biscuit mix to make a 2" ball. Drop this into the small bowl and roll the ball of mix around, covering the outside with flour. Pat this into a 1/2 inch thick patty and place into a baking pan.

Repeat this until you have used up all the biscuit mix. Place this into a preheated oven at 325 to 350 and bake for 15-30 minutes or until biscuits begin to brown on top.

    What kind of oil are you using? Different oils begin to change at different hight temps, so I think what oil you use in baking makes a difference. But I've never seen a biscuit recipe that calls for such a low heat and long cook. 325F for 30 minutes. That is very unlike other recipes I've tried, including drop biscuits using liquid oils.

    I'm going to give this a try, though, 'cause I seem to be among the world's worst biscuit makers. The best biscuit bakers I know tell me that the brand of flour really does make a difference --but those folks also all use shortening or lard! *cough*cough*my Arkansas Gramma*caugh*cough*

    Some day before I pass on I hope to make a really good biscuit.

    I use canola or olive oil and have made this recipe with both oils.
    Canola is definitely better than olive oil for this. Ha ha on the lard thing!
    I know just what you mean!

    Hi there, Carol! I haven't posted lately but do need to do that!

    Thanks for the comment. As for Christmas dinner, well, we don't celebrate
    Christmas so it's just another day for us. I'll post about today's dinner, though. Wink Sounds like you have a full day planned. I hope it's a great one!
