What is the EASIEST and best tasting biscuit recipe?

If you can spare the extra fat and calories, make James Beard's Cream Biscuits. Very simple recipe, easy to make, and the texture is so light and fluffy, you won't believe it. :) Definitely the best biscuits I've ever eaten. (Make sure you don't overwork your dough or your biscuits will be tough.





2 cups all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon baking powder


2 teaspoons sugar


1 teaspoon salt


1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream


1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled





Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.





In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Slowly add 1 cup of the cream, stirring with a rubber spatula, to form a smooth dough. Add up to 1/2 cup additional cream if mixture is too dry, being careful not to overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.





Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a square, about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 12 squares and dip into the melted butter to coat on all sides. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve hot.What is the EASIEST and best tasting biscuit recipe?

Easiest and best are 2 different things. Easiest - pick some up from KFC. Best - made from scratch with flour, butter, and buttermilk. I don't have a scratch recipe on hand, or I'd include it here, but if you search foodtv.com, the best one there is by Alton Brown from his show Good Eats.

The absolute best and easiest we make is


JP's Big Daddy Biscuits. I found this on allrecipes.com and have since tossed all other recipes for biscuits out including my moms! LOL:





INGREDIENTS:


2 cups all-purpose flour


1 tablespoon baking powder


1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon white sugar


1/3 cup shortening


1 cup milk





DIRECTIONS:


1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).


2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.


3. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.


4. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.

Cut shortening into dry ingredients.


Stir in buttermilk and yeast mixture.


Knead dough lightly on floured board or countertop.


Cut out biscuits.


Place on a greased pan and allow to rise before baking


(I cover mine with a damp towel and let sit on the stove...they will not rise as much as yeast rolls.)


Place pan in oven and bake for about 12 - 15 minutes!


Enjoy!
