Teach me more about your biscuits. Talk dirty to me abohut how shit rises.

Just off the back of the napkin, I was missing a fair bit of fat so I didn't get flakiness but they didn't fast rise.

I used roughly 1.5 cups of flour, half a stick of butter, like 1/4 a cup of mexican table cream, 1 table spoon of baking powder, salt \

Flavor came out pretty spot on, maybe a touch salty, but texture is fucked.

>>10018907
There are different kinds of biscuits, anon. You need to figure out which kind you have in your mind to make: flaky (folding layers), buttermilk (tender, that twang), drop biscuits (easy, good for toppings like sausage cream gravy or chipped beef), angel biscuits (has yeast). What are you envisioning? Do you have a restaurant who has biscuits you like?

Using mexican crema, I think you got a scone basically. Also, biscuits are about technique as much as ingredients, gotta watch some videos.

Yeast rolls are not biscuits. REEEEEE

Damn yankees.

But yes, I'm talking about >>10018969
style of buscuits.

I actually really enjoyed the flavor from the watered down table cream (wife drank the milk and it was the only milk product I had in the fridge). I watered it down some to get close enough. Obviously it needs more work.

I guess I'm just curious to know where I went wrong. Maybe I didn't let the baking powder proof long enough?

bump

>>10019002
How in the world did that even have enough liquid to make a batter? Was it just a pile of flour with bits of butter and sour cream in it?

>>10019437
1. Mix drys
2. Cut in butter till it looks like gravel
3. Splat in table cream, mix in and drizzle a little water in till it just comes together and unsticks from the sides of the bowl.

Done. It's not rocket science.

What the fuck

>>10018907
Not enough to go on, but ,y guess is you overworked the dough. Also: cube the butter beforehand and freeze it. Then gently but quickly form the biscuits

i freeze the butter and grate it into the flour
add enough water to get the flour off the sides of the bowl
flatten into rectangle with hands
letter fold
repeat
flatten and cut into rectangles because im lazy
arrange pieces near to each other in pre heated oven

Before doing bread baking I did biscuit baking professionally.

The main trick is to have everything as cold as possible. Keep your self rising flour and butter in the freezer, and keep the buttermilk in a fridge. Grate the butter into the flour before working in the buttermilk and don't overwork your dough.

I wasn't going to make it straight with table cream you mongloid. I mixed it with water.

I'll try grating and freezing the butter instead of warming and squishing.

I literally didn't work the dough more than it took to come together. Good or bad?

>>10018907
if you're a poor black man living in the south and you don't know how to make biscuits, then we won't be able to help you.

>>10020547

Wait, you think southern comfort food is an explicitly black thing? That's pretty hilarious and hilariously racist senpai.

Plus, grandmammy is ded.

You must learn the way of the biscuit, anon. I wish you luck on your journey.

>>10019544

Angel biscuits are not yeast rolls, just a type of biscuit that requires yeast. They're actually the kind of biscuits most common in restaurants, as a matter of fact because they use a little bit less butter, a more expensive ingredient, and they come out a lot lighter. But if it's what you like, you like it that way and I was posing it to you so you could choose.
The guy you posted has a solid looking technique, but I think the biscuits should not have come out as yellow as they did.
The best biscuit for smothering in gravy is the drop biscuit, in my opinion. It gets worked the least since there's not kneading, roll out and cutting, and the uneven surface of the top half of it provides texture that doesn't sog out after the gravy is poured over.
Buttermilk, with its acidity is going to combine with baking soda and baking powder in any recipe, and when you use self-rising flour, you should still supplement the amount of leaveners as you desire until you reach a perfect biscuit fluffiness that you were after. Skipping buttermilk means you need to add an acid too, whether sour cream, yogurt, kefir, vinegar, or lemon juice. Crema is more sweet cream than sour or cultured milk.
If you want to be a true southerner making biscuits to enjoy with jelly and butter, you use White Lily self-rising (low protein). You can grate a stick of frozen salted butter on a box grater, combine with 2.5 cups of the flour and freeze 15 minutes after combining. Add 1 cup cold buttermilk, combine. Roll out dough into rectangle, book the dough about 5 times (fold over, turn, and roll out again to fold again, to make layers). Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut. Lay on parchment lined pan (I like an air insulated pan to keep bottoms from burning). Any rerolled scraps will be tough, mind you. Make sure your biscuits touch a little in the pan, and that will help them to rise more.

Any time you need something Southern, you gotta go with Alton Brown.

>>10022570
Yo' shut yo' Uncle Tom mouth!

Where do I get biscuits like you can find at most fast food and gas stations?

I buy canned biscuits but they never come out anything like the ones I pick up for breakfast sometimes. Also, they seem to want to burn on the bottom before the top can get nice and golden brown.

First you get the bacon and then you get the egg then you get cheese and only then can you receive the biscuit.
