Grammy Rose's St. Columba's Biscuits
Dickie O'Neal's Irish American Family Pub Restaurant's homemade biscuits come from my Grammy's recipe. Grammy made these biscuits because they were easy, and cheap to make. During WWII, my Grammy would donate biscuits to impoverished church members that relied on the church to feed families during this time period.
With the amount of biscuits that were made, my Grammy used a premix of Bisquick, (since eggs and oil were a luxury at that time).
Enjoy the taste of this biscuit recipe!
Total Time:
23 minutes
Prep Time:
15 minutes
Cook Time:
8 minutes
Yields: 20
4 1/2 cups Bisquick
1 1/3 cups orange juice
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Melted butter, for brushing
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Mix the Bisquick, buttermilk and sugar together in a bowl.
Add the melted butter into the batter.
Stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn out onto a well floured work surface.
Knead 20 times (this is a very forgiving dough), and don't be afraid to get additional flour into the dough.
Roll 1/2 thick, or thicker if you prefer towering biscuits.
Cut out into 2" rounds (or your preferred size).
Place close together on an ungreased baking sheet.
Brush tops with melted butter.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; I usually find 8 minutes is enough.
When you remove the biscuits from the oven, brush the tops with melted butter again.
