ISO biscuit or roll recipe

[lex]

There may not be many different recipes out there...but Does anyone have a good biscuit or roll recipe to share? I want to make some for my mom to put some of her homeade jelly on and eat. Thanks.

These are excellent....for jam, just leave off the garlic and cheese. Maybe sprinkle a touch of sugar on them??? This is a bread machine recipe, but you can still use it for regular bread making.

Garlic Cheese Rolls

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Bread Machine Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Topping
1/4 cup butter -- melted
1 clove garlic -- crushed
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese -- grated

Place first 7 ingredients (through yeast) in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

When dough is ready, turn out onto a lightly floured countertop or cutting board. Cut dough into 16 equal pieces and form into balls. Grease 2 - 8" cake pans (I have used a 13 x 9). Place 8 balls into each pan.

In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic and cheese; evenly pour over rolls.

Cover and let rise 30-45 minutes until doubled.

Preheat oven to 375. Bake for about 17 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.

Paula Deen did one yesterday on her show that looked very easy that included a yeast mixture with biscuit mix. You can find the recipe at Food TV.

Here are my two favorites---the first, from Shirley Corriher, is a true Southern biscuit (Alton also has a wonderful recipe, which you should be able to find on the Food TV site--it's somewhat similar); the second (no longer remember the source, sorry) is a more structured end product, more of a roll than a biscuit, but also very nice, and the speed & convenience of being able to always have the dough on hand in the fridge is a nice bonus.

TOUCH OF GRACE BISCUITS
Shirley O. Corriher

1 – 1 ¼ cups buttermilk, or ¾ cup buttermilk + ½ cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups soft Southern flour (Lily is good)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 cup all purpose flour (for shaping)
1/3 tsp salt
1 Tbl sugar
3 Tbl shortening
2 Tbl butter, melted

Preheat oven to 475 and spray an 8” round cake tin with cooking spray. Combine the soft flour, soda, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. With your fingers, work the shortening into the mixture until there are no shortening lumps larger than a big pea. Stir in the liquid and let stand for 2-3 minutes. The dough is so wet that you cannot shape it in the usual manner. Pour the cup of all purpose flour onto a plate. Flour your hands well. Spoon a biscuit-sized lump of wet dough into the flour and sprinkle some flour over the wet dough to coat the outside. Pick up the biscuit and shape it roughly into a soft round, while also shaking off any excess flour. Place it in the pan. Push the biscuit tightly against each other so they have to rise up and cannot spread out. Continue shaping in this manner until all the dough is used. (If making a big batch, you can use a well-floured ice cream scoop). Brush the biscuits with melted butter and bake just above the center of the oven until lightly browned 15-20 minutes. Cool 1-2 minutes in the pan and then dump them out and cut apart.

I always makes these in the bread machine, but you could also do them by hand.
ANGEL BISCUITS
(Bread Machine Version)

2 cups lukewarm buttermilk
¾ cup Crisco shortening (not butter flavored)
5 cups bread flour - divided
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
3 Tbl granulated white sugar
2½ tsp rapid rising yeast

Place the ingredients in bread machine pan in this order:
2 cups lukewarm buttermilk
Crisco
3 cups bread flour
soda
salt
baking powder
sugar
yeast
2 cups of bread flour.

Turn machine onto 'dough' setting and let process. (NOTE: you will have to stay close by for the kneading process as your dough may require a little help mixing - once all ingredients are incorporated you can leave your machine to finish the cycle. I usually let it run for about 10 minutes, take the pan out and turn everything over a few times with a spatula, until everything seems pretty combined and all the dry ingredients are starting to get wet. Then I start the dough cycle OVER from the beginning. This seems to work for me, you may need to experiment with your machine a little to find what works for you)

Warning: remove dough from machine as soon as the dough cycle completes otherwise it will start rising and lift the lid off the machine! Once dough cycle has completed - spray Ziplock bag with Pam or other veggie spray - dump dough into bag, zip up and keep in fridge (it will rise in the bag). From this point you can either make your rolls (as many as you want at one time - this is the beauty of this recipe - you don't have to make up the whole recipe at once and can put the unused dough back into the fridge) by rolling and cutting or make individual rolls in muffin tins by just pinching off a piece of dough, shape into a roll and put in greased muffin tin and bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or until golden. (I prefer to make these in the muffin tins.) These work equally well at breakfast, hot from the oven with butter and jam.

The recipe that Susan quotes is our standard biscuit recipe - it's fabulous as a savory biscuit (as written), but great without the garlic and cheese also.

I second the Touch of Grace biscuits. They're great!

[funniegrrl]

Yes, a true southern biscuit is a short quick bread -- made with lots of fat, chemical leavening but no yeast, and usually buttermilk; Touch of Grace is the real deal. Soft wheat flour is important; if you don't live in the South and have access to White Lily, you can mix half pastry flour and half "regular" all-purpose flour to get the same effect.

My family is a huge fan of CL's Buttered Sweet Potato Knot Rolls. The recipe is here (http://food.cookinglight.com/cooking/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=408839) and makes tons of them. they have a hint of sweetness and would be even more so with jelly.
