How To Bake Biscuits With Cake Flour Recipe
Baking biscuits with cake flour is not exclusive to a particular cuisine or group of people. Biscuits are a common baked good enjoyed in various cultures and cuisines around the world. The use of cake flour in biscuit recipes can result in a lighter and more tender texture.
Ingredients
- - 2 cups cake flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup milk
- sugar
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.3. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be well incorporated, but some small lumps are fine.4. Gradually add the milk to the flour and butter mixture. Stir with a fork or a spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix the dough.5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Avoid excessive kneading, as it can result in tougher biscuits.6. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm). Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each one.7. Gather the remaining dough scraps and gently reshape and roll them to cut out additional biscuits.8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.9. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes

Notes
These biscuits made with cake flour will have a lighter and more delicate texture compared to those made with all-purpose flour. They are best served warm and can be enjoyed with butter, jam, or as a side to various dishes.
For a slightly deeper golden brown color and a crisper texture, continue baking for an additional 2 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning or burning.
It's important to note that every oven is different, so it's advisable to monitor the biscuits closely during the baking process and adjust the time accordingly. The biscuits are ready when they have risen, are golden brown, and sound hollow when lightly tapped on the top.
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade biscuits!
