Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Butter, cold and cubed
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the packet of active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
In the bread maker's bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients in the bread maker's bowl. Using your hands or a fork, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the buttermilk and the foamy yeast mixture into the bread maker bowl. Select the dough setting and let the bread maker knead the dough. This process should take about 10-15 minutes.
Once the bread maker has finished kneading and proofing the dough, transfer the dough to a floured surface.
Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them for rising.
Cover the biscuits loosely with a clean towel and let them rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
If desired, brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter for extra richness and a shiny finish.
Serve warm and enjoy these light, buttery angel biscuits.
