The way she describes these biscuits on her website: (" I still have a memory picture of those biscuits gracing the center of the sun-lit oak table. Never had I seen biscuits baked in a square dish, their puffy tops resembling a golden quilt. When we pulled a steaming biscuit away from its close-knit family, the biscuit was both moist and crumbly,") The Amish Cook made my mouth water!

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • While oven is pre-heating, place ΒΌ cup butter in a 7x11 baking dish or 10" round skillet and place in oven to melt. (a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet really shines at creating the crispy edges, or use a glass baking dish for the prettiest job of browning).
  • While the pan is in the oven blend flour, salt, cream of tartar, sugar, baking powder, and then cut in the remaining butter.
  • Lightly beat 1 egg in 1 cup of milk before stirring it in the flour mixture.
  • Remove the buttered pan from oven.
  • Butter should be melted and just slightly browned.
  • Do not knead the biscuits, but instead use a large cookie/ ice cream scoop to immediately scoop out balls of dough into the buttered pan.
  • Biscuits should be nestled together somewhat tightly.
  • Quickly place back into oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown.
