AIRY ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together into a large bowl. Transfer half of the dry ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and cut in the cold butter, pulsing, until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces of butter still remaining. Transfer the mixture back to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the yeast mixture and buttermilk. Stir until a dough forms and turn out onto a floured board. Kneed until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes.
• Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch, and cut out 1 1/2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter. Set the biscuits 2 inches apart on the baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and bake until lightly golden (they should not brown), 10 to 12 minutes.

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
• In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the yeast and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until bubbles appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Using your hands, mix the 1 cup cold butter into the flour, breaking the butter into small pebbles, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients. Keep mixing until a ball starts to form, then gently knead, 12 to 15 times, to create a smooth dough. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and press out to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick. Fold the dough in half, press again to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick, and then fold again. Cut the dough using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, depending personal preference. Brush the bottom of a cast-iron skillet with some of the melted butter. Place the biscuits in the skillet; brush the tops with melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, depending on size. Brush again with melted butter and serve immediately.

• Heat oven to 400°. Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in yeast mixture and just enough buttermilk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
• Place dough on generously floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 25 to 30 times, sprinkling with flour if dough is too sticky. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

BUTTERMILK ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a liquid measuring cup, combine yeast, water, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Set aside until mixture becomes creamy and foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut shortening into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Add yeast mixture and buttermilk and stir until dough just comes together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead 5 or 6 times; dough should be soft and moist. Return dough to bowl, cover bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight or up to 1 week.
• Turn dough out onto a heavily floured work surface. Knead dough about 10 times. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out to 1/3-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/4-inch round cutter, cut biscuits as close together as possible. Gather dough scraps and place one on top of the other. Knead and roll out dough again. Stamp out as many biscuits as possible. Discard remaining scraps.
• Arrange biscuits, with sides touching, on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and set aside to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Bake biscuits until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.

CHEESY ANGEL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) cold butter into small cubes.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment. Turn the machine on low and pour in the sugar, salt and yeast. Mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly. With the machine running, gradually add the cubed butter piece by piece. Allow the mixer to slowly cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles cornmeal with some pea-sized clumps, about 5 minutes. Add the fresh thyme leaves and mix for 30 seconds more to combine. With the machine still running on low speed, pour in the buttermilk and sour cream. This will pull the mixture together into a sticky dough. Turn the machine off and add the Cheddar. Fold the cheese into the dough on low speed, for about 30 seconds. Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pull the dough together into a smooth disc.
• Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until it is 1 inch thick. Use a floured 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Collect the dough scraps and roll out and cut again just once more, then discard scraps.
• Melt the remaining 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter in the microwave. Brush the tops of the raw biscuits with half of the melted butter.
• Bake the biscuits until evenly golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Brush the biscuits with the remaining melted butter. Serve warm with sorghum, honey and marmalade.
