Cheaters Beaten Biscuits
- MAKES
- 2 dozen biscuits
- COOK TIME
- 20 Min
Old- timers beat their biscuit dough 30 to 45 minutes with a rolling pin to achieve the characteristic texture of these crisp little biscuits. But we traded in our rolling pins for a food processor, and the job's done in a flash! These biscuits with flaky layers split naturally to form perfect pockets for your choice of partners.
What You'll Need
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/3 cup ice water
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add flour and salt. Process seconds; add butter, and process 10 seconds or until mixture is crumbly.
- Pour water through food chute with processor running; process until mixture forms a ball. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Fold dough in half lengthwise; cut with a 1-inch biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Prick top of each biscuit with a fork 3 times. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
