Hey Ashley, the pin-it button is with the picture.
Do you have a pin button that I’m just missing??
Hello,
Self-rising flour has baking powder and salt added.
The difference between cake, pastry and bread flour is the protein [gluten] content as well as how finely it has been processed.
Different types of flour have different protein contents; all-purpose flour has about 10-12%, cake flour 5-8% and pastry flour falls somewhere in between. [8-9%] i.e. Pastry flour and cake flour are closer in protein content than pastry flour and all purpose flour. Basically, pastry flour has been customized to give the best results for pastries, pie crusts etc. Cake flour will give a more tender “crumb” to a cake and all purpose will yield a more dense result. Those are just the basics.
1 stick of butter is equal to 1/2 cup.
Hello… love the site 🙂
What is the difference between self rising flour, Cake and Pastry flour, and bread flour?
Also, what is the measurement of a “stick of butter”? My butter comes in 1lb blocks.
A silpat is a silicone baking mat. They’re terrific and nothing sticks to them. Truly a bakers best friend. ☺
Help! What’s a silpat?
Hi Barb, if you mean whipping cream, it should work.
I don’t have heavy cream, would just cream be ok
thank you Barb
Hi Mary, One of my visitors once told me she used the full fat buttermilk in these with success. I haven’t personally substituted buttermilk in this particular biscuit, but, suspect it would work fine. Let me know your results. ~ Melissa
Would I be able to substitute Buttermilk instead of the heavy cream? I just like the taste of buttermilk in biscuits.
Hi Lisa! I hear ya, isn’t that always the case with ingredients? 🙂 Enjoy, happy baking! ~ Melissa
Definitely making these! Just need to get the self-rising flour lol. I’ve got 3 kinds of flour in my pantry but not one of them is self-rising!!
make your own self rising flour you can do this
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Enjoy! 🙂
Your recipes are turning my husband on! They look delicious, and we will be trying them for sure!!!
Really? That’s surprising, although biscuits have many faces. These biscuits aren’t sweet like a scone, the sugar balances the saltiness of the bacon. I don’t put sugar in plain buttermilk biscuits that I might serve with gravy, but, never say never. Welcome to my kitchen 🙂
I’ve lived in Alabama all my life with the exception of one year in Gulfport, Ms and a year in Houston, Tx. and that’s the first time I have ever heard or seen a biscuit recipe calling for sugar….will have to try it and get back with you, but def. don’t use sugar in grits, lol
We Yankees usually only have all purpose flour in our pantries. Looks like I have to make a special trip to the grocery store–but these sound like they’d be worth the trip!
Marie, I must say, I keep both kinds of flour in my pantry year around. I hope you enjoy! 🙂
