Kentucky-Style

Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients (for 6-8 b

iscuits) 180 g flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
100 ml milk
50 g butter

Directions

Combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.


Add the diced butter and milk, and mix with a spatula to break up the mixture. The butter should be mashed into the dough.


When the dough comes together, spread it out on a floured board and repeat folding and stretching 6 to 7 times, changing direction.




Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.


Take out the dough again on a floured surface and roll out to about 2 cm thick.


Cut out rounds and place on a cookie sheet lined baking sheet.



Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C for 13 minutes.

How does it taste?

The outside is soft and flaky, while the inside is moist. The flavorful taste of butter and wheat spreads out. This is truly a Kentucky cookie! The appearance is also reproduced with a beautiful layer of cross section.


There is no sweetness as is, so if you want sweetness, please adjust it by pouring maple syrup or honey on it. It is also recommended to combine it with a side dish such as fried chicken without adding any sweetness.

Note that cookies unmolded from the first batch of dough will turn out beautifully, as shown above, but cookies made by re-molding the leftover dough will be misshapen. The taste is not a problem, but if you try to minimize the number of times the dough is rolled out when unmolding, the whole biscuit will turn out beautifully.
