Grandma’s Biscuits! The very mention of these golden, flaky delights evokes warm memories of family gatherings and the comforting aroma of a freshly baked batch. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll take you through the steps of crafting the perfect Grandma’s Biscuits, step by step, with love and expertise.
Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Flour | 2 cups |
| Baking Powder | 1 tablespoon |
| Cream of Tartar | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Sugar | 1 tablespoon |
| Butter | 1/2 cup |
| Milk | 2/3 cup |
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees, ensuring it’s nice and hot for your biscuits.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Prepare the Butter: Cut the 1/2 cup of butter into small pieces. It’s easiest to do this with cold butter, using a cheese grater.
- Combine the Ingredients: Using a fork or dough divider, mix the dry ingredients and cold butter. The mixture will be crumbly; the goal is to break up the butter so it doesn’t clump together.
- Create a Well for the Milk: Make a well in the mixture and pour in 2/3 cup of milk.
- Blend with a Spoon: Stir the ingredients with a spoon until well blended.
- Hand Mixing: Use your hands to gently mix all of the flour. Avoid overmixing or kneading, as this keeps the biscuits light and flaky.
- Roll the Dough: Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Cut into Circles: Use a cookie cutter or a large dinner glass to cut the dough into circles.
- Baking Time: Place the circles on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 9-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.
- Enjoy: Your Grandma’s Biscuits are ready to be enjoyed!
