The Best Skillet Biscuits Food

THE BEST SKILLET BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease a 9- inch cast iron skillet liberally with butter. Set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together both flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the cold butter and quickly work the butter into the flour until it forms a coarse meal.
• Stir in the buttermilk until dough forms.
• Scoop out the into 1/2 cup portions and drop into the prepared skillet. Dough can touch in the pan. Brush the dough with half of the melted butter, reserving the remaining.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden.
• Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining butter.
• To prepare the honey butter, combine the 1/2 cup butter, honey, and vanilla in mixing bowl. Using the whisk attachment, mix on medium speed until combined and smooth.
• Serve biscuits warm with honey butter.

SKILLET BISCUITS WITH CINNAMON-HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 ̊. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Cut 2 sticks of the butter into small chunks, making sure it stays as cold as possible. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the chilled butter bits into the flour mixture until blended thoroughly. Make a well in the center and gently stir in 21⁄4 cups buttermilk and 2 tablespoons honey until the dough just comes together.
• Cut out rounds of dough with a floured 21⁄4-inch round biscuit cutter and place in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet (do not twist the cutter when pressing out the rounds- twisting seals the edges and prevents the biscuits from rising). Gently reroll the scraps if needed and cut out more biscuits (you should have about 14). Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 1⁄4 cup buttermilk.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the tops and bottoms are golden brown and the dough is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.

SKILLET BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a 10 1/2-inch square cast iron skillet or coat with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Grate butter using the large holes of a box grater. Stir into the flour mixture. Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 9-inch square, trimming the edges to create an 8-inch square. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 9 or 12 square biscuits. Place biscuits onto the prepared cast iron skillet. Place into oven and bake for 16-19 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

SKILLET BISCUITS

Steps:

• Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Cut in shortening or butter.
• Add and lightly mix buttermilk.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1/2 minute.
• Pat the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
• Cut with a biscuit cutter (or knife, depending on what shape you like).
• If you want to bake the biscuits, bake 10-12 minutes at 450.
• For skillet biscuits:.
• Cook the biscuits on a lightly greased hot skillet/griddle about 1 inch apart.
• Use your best judgement as to the heat - I generally use a more moderate flame and brown biscuits 3 to 4 minutes each side, though the original recipe says to brown them for 5-7 minutes each side over high heat.
• As mentioned above - the biscuits will not be light and fluffy like with baked biscuits - so don't wait for them to rise and be puffy. They will be more dense.
• The best approach is to keep an eye on them and turn them when they are browned and dry-looking on one side before turning them over.

STOVE TOP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients.
• Cut in margarine with a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingers.
• Stir in milk.
• Form dough into 12 biscuits.
• Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in an iron skillet over medium/low heat.
• Fry half of the biscuits for about 6 minutes on each side, and drain on paper towels.
• Repeat with 2 more tablespoons of margarine and remaining dough.

CAST IRON BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place 1 tablespoon butter in two 10-inch cast iron skillets.
• Place skillets in the preheated oven to heat up and melt butter, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix buttermilk and eggs together in a small bowl.
• Combine flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt in a large bowl. Rub in remaining 6 tablespoons butter with your fingers until mixture is crumbly. Gently stir in buttermilk mixture until dough just starts to come together.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 24 biscuits.
• Remove skillets from the oven. Arrange 12 biscuits side-by-side in each, their edges touching.
• Return skillets to the oven and bake until biscuits are puffed and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
