Here is an easy, quick recipe for basic American breakfast biscuits. Spread with jam or serve topped with a generous portion of sausage gravy. Baking powder biscuits make a great addition to any Sunday morning breakfast.
As with all quick breads, it helps to have all the ingredients for biscuits well chilled before starting, even the flour. Also, do not handle the dough any more than necessary. Overworking it will make the biscuits tough.
4 to 6 servings, or about 1 dozen biscuits

INGREDIENTS

  • Flour -- 2 cups (GF flour/baking mix. I prefer Bob's Red Mill One to One GF Flour mix)
  • Baking powder -- 1 tablespoon
  • Salt -- 1 teaspoon (Kosher Salt)
  • Butter, cold, cut into small cubes -- 4 ounces, or 1/2 cup (Smart Balance)
  • Milk -- 2/3 cup (non dairy or lactose free)

METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together into a large bowl. Add the butter and work into the flour quickly with your hands to form a coarse mealy texture.
  2. Stir in just enough milk to bring all the ingredients together in a shaggy mass. You may have to add more or less milk than called for.
  3. Remove the dough to a floured work surface and knead briefly just to smooth out the dough. Do not over knead or your biscuits will end up tough.
  4. Roll out to a thickness of about 3/4 inch. Cut into rounds with a floured glass or a biscuit cutter. Place the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet and brush with milk or melted butter.
  5. Place in the oven and bake until browned on top, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

BAKING POWDER BISCUIT VARIATIONS

  • Buttermilk Biscuits: Add 3/4 teaspoon baking soda to the dry ingredients and substitute buttermilk for the regular milk.
  • Cheesy Biscuits: Stir 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the flour-butter mixture for cheesy biscuits.
  • Drop Biscuits: Add a little more milk to make a moister dough and skip the kneading step. Use an ice cream scoop to spoon out portions of the dough onto a baking sheet and bake as directed.
  • Southern-Style Biscuits: Substitute chilled lard for 1/2 the butter and stir in some crumbled bacon.
  • Herbed Biscuits: Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of dried herbs, or 1 tablespoon of minced fresh herbs if you like. Parsley, chives, sage and cilantro all work nicely.sausage gravy

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

By
Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streus...
