tea biscuits recipe

[violette]

does anyone have a good recipe for biscuits. I have searched high and low. Made recipes that are suppose to be fabulous only to have hockey pucks come out of the oven.

are you over-kneading the dough? Most home bakers tend to over knead the dough. and the temperature of butter and flour is so so impotant. keep it very cool, almost cold.

Want to share the recipe?

are we talking biscuit/scone type thing? Or cookies? Then there are angel biscuits that have yeast in them - best ones I ever had were cooked in a cast iron dutch oven while camping. Or maybe it was just having hot fresh bread while camping. Despite our camp cook, THOSE were great!

Sweet or not sweet?

I LUV biscuits!!! for breakfast with lots of butter and jam.

I'm talking southern biscuits, KFC biscuits...

Sounds like they are being overworked.
I used to work for KFC back in the day (teenage day that is) and I was known as the best biscuit maker. My trick was making sure that the cold ingredients were ice cold, and I didn't work the dough too much.

Also try using pastry flour instead of all-purpose.

I don't have a recipe myself, but I do like these two cooking websites. Here's what I came up with doing a search 'southern biscuits'. I like that people can rate adn comment of the recipes after trying them.
