Can you make biscuits without baking powder or baking soda?

No baking powder? No problem! Your recipe may call for baking powder, but this ingredient can be easily substituted with baking soda. Baking soda is an alkaline ingredient, and you can add in just a few drops of lemon juice or cider vinegar to start the chemical reaction that makes biscuits super flaky.

How thick should I roll biscuit dough?

Rolling dough-Roll dough with a rolling pin to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Biscuits will double in height during baking. You might want to experiment with the thickness of the dough depending on your preference for thick, cakey biscuits or thinner, crisp ones.

Can you over knead biscuit dough?

DO NOT OVERMIX. Dough will not be completely smooth. Gather dough into a ball and knead on lightly floured surface quickly and gently, about 6 to 8 times, just until no longer sticky. ... Using too much flour and overworking the dough makes biscuits tough.

How do you make biscuits not overwork?

Dough was overworked: Biscuits are not like yeast breads where long kneading times are required. Fix: Once the liquid is added, knead the dough just enough to make it into a ball and roll out. If scraps are being kneaded together, knead very lightly to mix the dough without overworking.

Can you make biscuits without a biscuit cutter?

If you don't have a biscuit cutter, use a very sharp knife instead. Square biscuits are infinitely better than squished biscuits. And even if you are using a proper biscuit cutter, technique still matters. Be sure to push the tool straight down into the dough without twisting.
