OOPSIE DOOPSIE

I come from a long line of breakfast fans. Morning, noon or night, I am so, SO down for having any type of breakfast food. The ultimate, of course, is biscuits and gravy. {which may be followed by baked donuts or eggs … anyway …} As a result, I’ve been on a mini-quest to find a biscuit recipe that fits the bill for this comfort food classic. I found it here. It’s incredibly quick, easy, flaky and perfect not only for biscuits and gravy, but still moist to enjoy with butter and preserves (obviously we tested it …)

This biscuit recipe makes 6 great size biscuits.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour – 2 1/4 cups
Salt – 3/4 tsp
Sugar – 1 tsp
Baking powder – 4 tsp
Butter – 1/3 cup*
Milk – 1 cup*

*(The original recipe called for the butter and milk to be “very cold”. When I was prepping all of the ingredients, I put the milk in a measuring cup and butter in a dish, and then I put the two ingredients in the freezer to wait for me. If you remember, go ahead and try this. If not, keep those two in the refrigerator until you are ready to measure out and use them.)

1. Preheat your oven to 450°.
2. Mix flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.
3. Cut the butter into pieces and either mix the dry ingredients with the butter in a food processor or get your pastry cutter out of storage and put the muscles to work. Work it together until it resembles course crumbs.
4. Mix in that super cold milk just until it’s combined.
5. Dump out dough on lightly floured surface and bring together into a ball. Roll out with rolling pin. I did it about 3/4″ thick.
6. Cut your biscuits. If you have a 2″ cutter, that will get you about 6 biscuits. If you don’t have a biscuit cutter {*raises hand*}, use a glass. Works like a charm every time.
7. Place on lightly greased or parchment covered pan.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don’t forget to watch them as ovens vary. These babies don’t take long!
9. ENJOY!

Let me know what you think! I know you will love them.

This recipe is “Bubbs Approved,” which means the main squeeze AKA my husband totally loved this. A compliment in my book.
