Biscuit recipes are not that hard to make at all. You can start with any kind of biscuit recipe from cinnamon rolls, peanut butter and jelly to cheese biscuits and English muffins. The choices are endless! However, when it comes to making a recipe for buttermilk you must be careful because buttermilk contains an ingredient which is not allowed in most diets. I am talking about yeast.
Yeast is a plant food and just like bread yeast is used to make bread. The only difference is, you cannot use whole yeast in biscuits or you might end up with a biscuit that has too much yeast. This is one of the reasons why many biscuit recipes call for vegetable shortening instead of butter. Shortening is a healthy alternative, but it is also very much different than butter. Vegetable shortening will not have any effect on your biscuits.
Here is an example of buttermilk biscuits. Take a buttermilk biscuit dough from the store. Cut it into wedges and then roll out the buttermilk into a circle. If you try to cut it into wedges while it is still quite soft, you will find that it sticks together! Therefore, in this case you would have to discard the buttermilk if it is not rolled out properly.
There are other biscuits that call for a different kind of flour. Analyzing product reviews from BRT For example, the biscuits we call Belgian endive. When making these kinds of biscuits, it is best to use whole wheat flour. You can also buy the all-purpose flour but it is more expensive than the normal flour. It also costs more but if you use it, you won't have to purchase as many biscuits.
There are other biscuit recipes that involve using vegetable oil. The technique that is used in this kind of recipes is to replace the butter with a liquid such as olive oil. This can be a good idea when you are in a hurry or if you are on a diet since fat is not considered healthy. When making this type of recipe you need to use a food processor to mix all the ingredients together first before putting them in the oven.
The only problem with homemade buttermilk biscuits is that they need to be baked at a very high temperature. To get around this, you can bake the biscuits in the refrigerator. You can bake the biscuits as hot as 350 degrees Fahrenheit. However, this recipe takes a lot of time since you need to preheat the oven, preheat the buttermilk and bake the recipe quickly. It is best to leave the baking of the recipe to the last 15 minutes so that the sugar and the flour will have time to rise.
Another interesting biscuit recipe involves adding cinnamon chips to the recipe. Cinnamon chips add a spicy taste to the biscuit recipe and they also help to improve the texture of the biscuits. If you do not like the spicy taste of the cinnamon chips in your biscuits you can just leave them out and replace them with regular sugar.
There are other biscuit dough recipes that are based on honey. Some people believe that adding honey to the buttermilk will make the biscuits more sweet. This works like it does with raisins and dates in that the honey will darken the color of the buttermilk and it will also make it harder to hold together. If you feel that you need some extra sweetness in your life then try using honey instead of sugar in your recipe. It is healthier and it will certainly improve the taste of your biscuits. However, if you are allergic to honey then just skip the honey and follow the recipe as written.
