Question

Biscuit recipes that i dont need baking powder or baking soda?

Answer 1

thats a tough one.  you could try sourdough biscuits and skip the soda and baking powder in them.  Google unleavened bread and see what pops.

Answer 2

Got these from a Jewish baking site:

UNLEAVENED BISCUITS

1 C flour, sifted, 4 T shortening, 1/2 C cornmeal, 1 egg, 1/2 t salt, Milk

Mix all together, adding enough milk to make a medium stiff dough. Roll out about 1/4" thick. Cut out. Place on a slightly greased pan. Oil the tops. Bake about 8 minutes in a preheated oven of 425deg

HUSH PUPPIES

1 large onion, 1/2 t salt, 2 C cornmeal, 4 T sugar, 1 C flour, 4 T cooking oil, 2 eggs

Mix ingredients and drop by teaspoonfuls into hot oil. Drain well.

BEATEN BISCUITS

3 C flour (sifted), 3 T butter, 1 t sugar, 1 T oil, 1 t salt, 1/2 to 7/8 C milk or water

Sift flour, sugar and salt together. Cream butter, slowly adding oil. Add this mixture to flour and work with hands. Add just enough milk to make a very stiff dough. Turn dough onto a barely floured surface and knead it into a smooth ball. Then take a wooden rolling pin or a wooden potato masher and beat the dough for about 20-25 minutes, stopping frequently to fold the edges under toward the center of the dough. When dough blisters and snaps on being pulled, roll to about 1/2" thickness. Cut with a small biscuit cutter, prick the tops once with a fork and place on a greased baking sheet. Place in a 350deg oven and bake 10 minutes. Increase to 375deg and bake 15-20 more minutes. They should be very lightly browned and usually only on the bottom.

If you do not wish to beat the dough, another method is to run the dough through a meat chopper or food grinder, using the coarse blade. Do this four or five times or until dough feels elastic. Knead it just until smooth before rolling out.

QUICK MAYONNAISE BISCUITS

2 C sifted flour, 1/3 C sharp cheddar, 1/3 C mayonnaise, cheese (shredded), 3/4 C milk, 2 T onion (minced)

Mix together flour, mayonnaise and milk until well blended. Add cheese and onion. Drop by tablespoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350deg for 10 minutes until lightly browned.

BISCUITS

6 C flour, 1-1/2 t salt, 1/4 C shortening, Buttermilk to form dough

Knead dough till well mixed. Pinch off ball and roll. Flatten in pan. Brush lightly with shortening or butter. Bake at 400deg for 15-20 minutes.

CHEESE BISCUITS

2 C sifted unbleached flour, 1/2 lb margarine or butter, 1 lb sharp cheese, grated, 1 t cayenne pepper

Sift dry ingredients and cut in butter. Add cheese and form into small balls. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 400deg for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
