Angel Biscuits Baking: A Delightful Recipe for Fluffy, Buttery Treats

  • Author: Maria
  • Total Time: 42-45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 biscuits 1x

Description

These angel biscuits are a light and fluffy blend of traditional biscuits and yeast rolls, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish. Easy to make and versatile, they rise beautifully and can be enjoyed warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. If using honey, add it here as well. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and the activated yeast mixture. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  7. Lightly flour your work surface and turn the chilled dough out onto it. Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  8. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds from the dough, pressing straight down without twisting. Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Gather any leftover dough, roll it out again, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
  10. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter if desired.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs or cheese to the dough.
  • These biscuits can be served warm with butter, honey, or jam, or as a side to savory dishes like fried chicken.
