Brenda Gantt Biscuits are super duper and easy to make. These include the addition of honey and a glaze of honey is also used to dress the baked biscuits and this is the best part of this recipe. The honey glaze plays an important role in making the biscuits yummiest. You can either serve these biscuits at your tea parties or on the evening tea to your elders.
The Brenda Gantt Biscuit is a kid’s favorite as they always demand these from me. So I have to make them these biscuits every weekend to make them happy and delighted with just a little extra effort. They all love the honey topping on these biscuits.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 cups self-rising flour
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey
Method to make the Brenda Gantt Biscuit Recipe
First of all, you have to slice the butter stick into smaller pieces. Make sure to make cube-sized pieces of butter. Put them in a bowl and set aside.
Then you should make the flour mixture. Take flour in a bowl. This is the all-purpose flour and then you will combine the rising flour in it. Mix the baking powder and the salt into the mixture. Stir to combine.
Add the flour mixture and the sliced butter in an electric blender and blend at medium to high speed to make a thick mixture.
Then you also need milk for your biscuit recipe. Take the buttermilk in a separate container.
Pour the milk into the flour mixture and whisk again until a thick dough-like mixture is formed in the end.
Spread the dough on a floured surface and knead it. After kneading the dough make it even by using a rolling pin. It makes a very smooth texture and neat dough in the end.
In the next step, you have to make the cookies. For this purpose, you should use a cookie cutter of a suitable size. Put it on the spread dough and make cookies out of it.
Take a baking pan and grease it using melted butter. Put the cookies into the pan one by one. Once done you have to move forward to the next step.
Put the baking pan in the preheated oven and start baking. The baking period is almost 8-10 minutes and your baked biscuits are ready.
Make a glaze by mixing the honey in butter and coat it on the cooked biscuits one by one.
Your Brenda Gantt Biscuits are ready to serve.
FAQs?
Why do we add honey to the dough?
The honey is added to the dough for making these biscuits turn into honey biscuits. Only a little quantity of honey is added to add a super yummy flavor to it.
What to do if the biscuits do not rise?
The biscuits do not rise due to not adding enough baking powder. Make sure to add the exact mentioned quantity of baking powder for the perfectly baked biscuits.
What do we use to grease the pan?
There is no compulsion about that. You can either use cooking spray or use butter or oil for greasing the baking pan so that the biscuits do not stick to the pan.
