BUSCUITS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place 2 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, add the butter and mix until the butter is the size of peas.
• Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork. With the mixer still on low, quickly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until moistened. In a small bowl, mix the Cheddar with small handful of flour and, with the mixer still on low, add the cheese to the dough. Mix only until roughly combined.
• Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead lightly about 6 times. Roll the dough out to a rectangle 10 by 5 inches. With a sharp, floured knife, cut the dough lengthwise in half and then across in quarters, making 8 rough rectangles. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with salt, if using, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the biscuits are cooked through. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Put 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in measuring cup and add *enough milk to measure 2/3 cup. Let lemon juice and milk mixture sit for about 5 min.
• In mixing bowl, combine bisquick, baking powder and sugar. Add egg and milk mixture to bisquick mixture. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Do not over mix.
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface, and sprinkle the top of the dough with flour, use just enough flour to bring dough together. Knead flour into dough until dough comes together, about 12 times, do not over knead. Pat dough out with hands to about 1 1/4 inches thick. Using round biscuit cutter, rim of glass, or whatever you like to use. Cut out biscuits. Place on parchment lined sheet pan and bake at 450 degrees F. 10 minutes or until golden.
• Notes: I usually rework the dough and get about 8-9 biscuits from this recipe. When I say rework I mean I gather up scraps after cutting buscuits and put the scraps back together and pat out and cut. Just don't over work the dough or the biscuits will be tough. Also, I have floured my surface with bisquick in the past, but I don't think the end result is the best result for me. I like using flour instead, I think it makes for a better finished product. It seems the bisquick is too heavy.
