The combination of cake flour and all-purpose flour with the very cold butter in this recipe makes a big difference. I like to use a box grater to grate a stick of frozen butter, as opposed to cutting the butter using other methods such as a food processor or pastry cutter. It works great for me this way, but it certainly isn't the only method that works. I do think it's faster than cutting with a pastry cutter and definitely has less clean up than a food processor, but feel free to use whichever method you prefer.
Head over to Craft to see the full post with recipe, instructions, and some step-by-step photos for these savory biscuits. I love using this recipe to make biscuits for breakfast egg sandwiches. They also go great with a home cooked dinner. If you want a plain biscuit, just leave out the cheddar and ham.
You've got my stomach grumbling and my mouth watering! :)
ReplyDeleteAhh love me some buscuits. They sounds delicious.

ReplyDeleteJosh recently made biscuits, he loves them. I still need to post his recipe. I will have to show him your recipe for next time!
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled for you guys! Sounds and looks like Logan's party was a great success. All of your details were so well thought out and creative. I love how you named all the snacks, very cute touch. It is amazing when they start to play with each other without us hovering over everything. I love this age!! happy b'day again to the little man.
ReplyDeleteOops, just realized my comment went into the wrong post. These biscuits look great, I love your technique suggestions.
ReplyDeleteThese look good Katie! Do you think they would freeze well?
ReplyDeleteBox grater. I will have to try that!
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I usually cut it into teaspoon-sized pieces, then work it in with my fingers. Pretty quick, and it's easy to find pieces that aren't broken up enough.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! These look like a perfect pairing with a nice bowl of comforting soup.
ReplyDeleteHi, I camne through your blog trying to find chicken pot pie recipe. Love your blog! I never thought of shredding my butter. What a grand idea and will have to that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind me adding you on my blog list? Have a great day!
Gorgeous photo. These look absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteSmart to grate a frozen stick of butter! I usually use a pastry blender to cut the butter in, but that sounds like a great technique to try. And, the biscuits look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip - I'll have to try it out next time!
ReplyDeleteYour biscuits look perfect. Nice and flaky. Scones and Biscuits are often on the menu here. I use the same method for making both.
