Certainly! Angel biscuits are light and fluffy, a cross between a biscuit and a roll. Here’s a simple homemade recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (around 110°F or 43°C)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the chilled butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk and yeast mixture. Stir until just combined. The dough will be soft and sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Be careful not to over-knead.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, with the edges touching for soft sides.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade angel biscuits! These are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side with your favorite meals.
