----Touch of Grace Biscuits made with Bisquick----
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1-1/2 teaspoons White Granulated Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Table Salt
2 1/2 cups Original Bisquick Baking Mix
1 (12 oz) can (about 1-1/2 cups) Evaporated Milk, undiluted
Butter Flavored Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Cake Pan
Ice Cream Scoop
These are not flaky biscuits, they are light, fluffy, cake-like biscuits.
These biscuits are like drop biscuits, but instead of dropping them onto a cookie sheet, you drop them into dry flour. Then you pick up the flour coated biscuit dough and place it in a cake pan. The biscuits are crowded together in the cake pan, pressed against each other, so there is no where to go but up when baking. The flour coating prevents the spiky, hard surface, of regular drop biscuits.
.
The really wet dough makes a very light, fluffy and tender biscuit, due to the steam formed during baking. Most of the dry flour coating disappears during baking. Small remaining patches of flour on the finished biscuits disappear when the final butter coating is applied.
Pre-heat oven to 400-F degrees. Set rack in middle position.
-In a small bowl, mix the All-Purpose Flour, Granulated Sugar and Table Salt. Stir well. Set aside until needed. (We don't want to use dry Bisquick to dust the biscuits, the baking powder it contains will make a bitter coating.)
-In a larger bowl, mix the Original Bisquick and 1 cup of undiluted Evaporated Milk. Add additional undiluted Evaporated Milk
to make a thick batter that looks like cottage cheese.
-Using an ice cream scoop, or 2 spoons, drop a 1/4-cup size portion of the wet dough into the bowl of reserved dry flour mixture.
-Using your fingers, sprinkle some of the dry flour on top of the wet dough ball until it is coated in dry flour.
-Pick up the coated dough ball, shake off excess flour and place in the greased cake pan, along the outside edge. (If the dough ball falls apart, it is too wet, add more dry Bisquick to the batter.)
-Continue adding the flour coated biscuit dough around the edge of the cake pan, pressed up against each other.
-After the uncooked biscuits ring the edge of the cake pan, fill in the middle with the remaining flour coated balls of biscuit dough.
-The filled cake pan should have little or no gaps between the uncooked biscuits.
-Spray tops of biscuits with Butter Flavored Non-Stick Cooking Spray to moisten any dry flour on biscuit tops.
-Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees F until biscuits are lightly browned on the outside and interior of a biscuit reaches 190 to 195 degrees F, about 18 to 22 minutes. Cut biscuits apart and serve warm.
.
Yield: 10 to 12 biscuits.
