You are entering the “scone zone” when you start adding sugar to biscuits, imo. Once the dough starts holding together, instead of folding it, cut it in half and stack them. This will “help” the scone/biscuits rise straighter when baking. If you want a more softer crumb, replace the volume of buttermilk with one large egg. (Crack the egg into the cup then fill with buttermilk to the measurement mark) My useless $0.02

@broakland2 Жыл бұрын

Does softer crumb mean more moist? I’m just trying to figure out if it’s worth doing the egg substitution. Thanks.

One of those moments I'm so happy I subscribe to NYT Cooking! Good to see just how crumbly the mixture is until the bitter end. Or the butter end. Last week's random buttermilk purchase now makes perfect sense. Dalmatia Sour Cherry Spread and almond scented ricotta waiting just for these.

My husband and I just got back from Portland, and our hotel was right across from Tandem! We tried this same biscuit with cream cheese and pepper jelly, and it was heaven! The sesame banana bread with cream cheese, olive oil, and black pepper was also amazing 😍 Can't wait to recreate. Thank you!

I watched this video ages ago and have since been to Portland on a bachelorette party to visit the city for the first time. Was lucky enough to visit Tandem, stepped up and ordered while the rest of the crew was reading the menu and got the last biscuit with pepper jelly and cream cheese of the morning. Now another month later I'm rewatching this video and realizing that you've made it possible for me to share these biscuits with the rest of the bridesmaids down the line during the wedding weekend. A minor moment but so cool. Thanks Eric and Briana!!

Thank you for sharing your version of this recipe, Eric. It is wonderful. I know way too much about the history of this recipe as I follow ATK and NYtimes Food religiously. The recipe extends back to Kenji Alt-Lopez grating butter back at America's Test Kitchen in the early 2000's for a scone recipe. There arose the flaky biscuit recipe a few years ago with this same technique. The difference that I like with theirs is that they cut the edges off so that the biscuits rise straight up and do not fall over. Yum.

To get a more even rise in the oven, you might want to a letter instead of a book fold, at least for the last fold. Also, possibly trim the folded edge so that it's not bunched together, and the laminations can expand more evenly as it bakes.

I make these sweet biscuits for strawberry shortcakes. Which I always seem to be making in the dead heat of summer (I live in the Mojave to boot! 🤪) So my additional tip is the freeze the butter BEFORE shredding it so that it stays cool from start to finish. Now I want biscuits! 😋 Thx!

@bradh74 Жыл бұрын

The biscuit is falling over because it was pinched/not trimmed on the edge. I usually put my dough in the fridge for 20 minutes so it won't compress/ get pinched on the edges when I cut them. It really helps. Not sure about the sweetness but the rest I like. Haven't made a scone but have made a sort of sweet biscuit/short bread and wasn't fond of it, but great job on the video!

If you don't want them to 'accordion over' as you put it...pop the tray with them in the freezer for 10 mins and make sure the oven is already up to temp when you put them in. They will rise up straight and high in the oven then.

@joshevans5127 Жыл бұрын

If you want to avoid the "accordion" effect of the biscuit layer rising on one side and not the other, you can cut the outside edges of the biscuit before cutting into 9. And it has to be with a SUPER sharp knife. Also try to minimize the amount of raw flour stuck between the folded layers. And honestly, you should rest the dough at least overnight. The best biscuits I can make are batched and frozen the week prior and baked to order after brushing with egg/milk. And yes, as a Texas biscuit purist, that's WAY too much sugar and not enough salt, but you do you boo.
