Fold the dough in half and flatten and shape it again into a rectangle. Shape the dough into a rectangle, about 10" x 6", but don't worry about getting precise measurements yet. You need to be gentle with the dough so that the layers don't get squished, so use your hands to laminate it, not a roller. Laminating is a baking technique that folds dough over on itself several times and creates layers. If the dough is too dry you can add 1 additional tablespoon at a time.īiscuits are made with an easy lamination process. Add in 1 cup of milk and begin forming into a dough using your hands.
Use a pastry blender to cut the cold butter in, or grate it in using the large holes on a box grater. Measure out the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and mix together in a large bowl. You don't want to over-work the dough, so a food processor or stand mixer is not recommended. Alternatively, you can freeze the butter for 15 minutes and then use the large holes on a box grater to grate the butter into the dough. Cut the butter into even-sized pieces and keep in the refrigerator while you get the rest of the dough ingredients ready.So blast the AC if you have to! You need your house and space you're working on to be nice and cold. When making biscuit dough you need to make sure you are working in a cool environment. Buttermilk will also work, but the amount will vary slightly. Baking powder: Baking powder causes the biscuits to rise up super light and fluffy when baked.The butter melts during baking, which creates steam pockets and makes the dough turn out light and flaky. COLD butter: Cold is key for biscuits! Just like with a pie crust or homemade croissants, you need the butter to stay solid in the dough until it is baked.The biscuits also freeze really well, so you can make a big batch and easily reheat them whenever you want.
You will love how easy these are to make. The biscuits are light and flaky, and laminating the dough creates lots of layers that rise up during baking. Homemade biscuits taste amazing warm, fresh out of the oven, and topped with butter.
