Tips on Making Bob Evans Biscuits

What could be better than waking up to warm freshly baked pastries in the morning? Baking biscuits is easy, fun, and quick at the same time. Here are the best tips about making them.

  • Use good quality butter. It’ll be the overall flavor of your biscuits, so the better quality they are, the yummier your biscuits will be. You can use butter-flavored margarine, but real butter gives a way more superior flavor.
  • Keep the milk and flour cold until ready to use. It’ll help give the biscuits a better texture later on.
  • Don’t overwork the dough. You want to mix them just until the dough is smooth and all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Otherwise, too much gluten will form, giving you dense and tough cookies.
  • Customize your biscuits! You can toss in some chives and paprika to make savory biscuits. You can also add shredded cheddar cheese. For sweet biscuits, try rolling them into some cinnamon sugar before baking. It’ll form a sweet crackly crust on the outside after baking.
  • Make the biscuits ahead. You can shape the dough, lay them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cover them with plastic wrap, freeze them, and bake them from frozen whenever you’re ready to serve them! They will stay good in the freezer for 3 months. You can double or triple the recipe so that you’ll have ready-to-bake biscuit dough anytime.

While these biscuits taste great on their own or simply topped with honey or jam, make it extra indulgent by pairing it with sausage gravy. After all, it’s everyone’s favorite way of eating Bob Evans biscuits!

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use instead of baking powder in biscuits?

Baking powder is actually made up of just baking soda and an acidic ingredient, usually cream of tartar, combined into one even mixture. You can easily make it at home! Just mix one part of baking soda with two parts of baking powder. Another way is to use ½ tablespoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar for this biscuit recipe. If you use buttermilk instead of regular milk, which is an acidic ingredient, then you can just use ½ tablespoon of baking soda instead.

Why are my homemade biscuits hard?

Your homemade biscuits will turn out hard if they are overcooked or cooked at a temperature higher than what the recipe calls for. It could also be because of using too much flour, so make sure to dust your work surface only lightly.
