Angel Biscuits
Recipe from Fresh with Anna Olson- Retro 50's Meal(season 2).
It look like scone but it taste like butter bun. The texture is as soft as bread, it is very easy to prepare too. Must try! :)
Following is half portion of the recipe which I had tried out.
Recipe
Ingredients (yield about 8biscuits)
2g instant dry yeast (about 3/4tsp)
30g sugar
1tbsp warm water (body temperature)
190g plain flour
1/4tsp baking soda
1/4tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
60g cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
120g buttermilk
Steps:
1. Stir yeast, a pinch of the sugar and water together and set aside while preparing other ingredients.
2. Sift flour, remaining sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
3. Cut the butter into the flour until it’s a rough crumbly texture.
4. Stir the yeast mixture into the buttermilk and add it all to the flour.
5. Mix until a sticky dough comes together, wrap and chill overnight.
6. The next day, preheat oven to 220C.
7. On a generously floured surface (dough will be sticky), roll out dough to 1cm thick and fold dough over in half, pressing down gently.
8. Using a 5 cm round cutter (I used a 4cm round cutter.), cut out biscuits and place on a greased tray.
9. Bake 10-12mins, until just lightly browned.
10.Remove from tray and cool it on a wire rack.
11.Serve biscuits warm or freeze and re-warm to serve later.

Oh yes ... it really looks like scone, but can see thru have soft texture on your second picture.
I never try baking use buttermilk before, I would like to check with you whether it can be substitued by milk?

Hi DG,
You can't replace buttermilk with milk but you can try replacing it with yogurt. I'm not sure whether it work, you can give it a try.
Hi Wendy,
My boys loved it very much, I only have one piece and they finished every single one on the cooling rack. ;p I'm sure your girl will love this.
