Amish biscuits

Amish biscuits are a delicious culinary tradition originating from the Amish communities of the United States, known for their simple lifestyle and culture based on agriculture and craftsmanship. These biscuits, also called "Amish biscuits" in English, are an essential part of home cooking and often accompany breakfasts and snacks. In other Latin American countries, while there is no exact version of this recipe, similar dishes such as homemade cookies or simple rolls share the same essence of basic ingredients and artisanal preparation.

The recipe reflects the importance of natural ingredients, without industrial additives or preservatives, being traditionally prepared without haste and with great dedication. The influence of European origin, especially German and Swiss, is noticeable in the spongy texture and mild flavor of these biscuits, which have been adapted over time but retain their authentic character.

These Amish biscuits have become popular outside of these communities, with homemade versions found in various households due to their simplicity and delicious result, becoming a delicious symbol of traditional American cuisine.

How to prepare Amish biscuits

To prepare these delicious biscuits, begin by combining flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, Amish starter, and vegetable oil.

Mix well until all the liquid ingredients are combined.

Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out until it is approximately 1/2 inch thick.

Using a 3-inch round cutter or a floured glass, cut out the biscuits and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Brush the top of the biscuits with melted butter.

Cover the biscuits and let them rest for 30 minutes to allow the dough to settle.

Finally, bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
