With Thanksgiving upon us, I am finding many things that would be
really good if converted...
So, do you have a way to make gluten-free, lactose-free....
A) Latkes and Hamentaschen. And other interesting Jewish food...
B) baklava! Yummy! For that matter, maybe a general pastry recipe would
be of use...
C) Rice -n- Rye Ener-G Mix Bread -- they had this recipe on their old
package. It was *excellent*! But one day it disappeared...
D) Red Lobster-style biscuits -- A while ago there was a thread about
this on rec.food.cooking... (Original poster: [log in to unmask])
1 & 3/4 c white unbleached all-purpose flour <----- big bad
1/4 c pastry flour <----- ditto
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t sugar
1/2 t salt
1/4 c shortening ( I used Crisco)
3 T unsalted butter <---- soy margerine!
2/3 to 3/4 c buttermilk <----this came up before
Milk or melted butter for brushing biscuit tops
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Mix flours, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut in
shortening and butter until mix is coarse and grainy. Sprinkle the
buttermilk over the mix and stir lightly with a fork to blend. Turn out
onto a lightly floured board and knead 8-10 times, until mix is just
rollable. Roll out 1/2 inch thick and cut your biscuits. Brush tops
with melted butter or milk. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheet, 12 -
15 minutes, until golden brown.
The Bee had some helpful hints:
* use fresh baking powder
* use cold shortening and cold liquids
* cut-in the shortening by working the shortening into the flour with your
hands to get a mix with the consistency of coarse meal. you can use 2
knives to do this, too.
* moisten the mix with the liquid. Don't pour it all in, add it bit by bit.
* Don't overwork the dough when you knead it. it melts the shortening and
wrecks the texture.
* when you cut the biscuits don't mush the mix by twisting the cutter -
this flatten the layers.
