Craving warm, fluffy biscuits but don’t have an oven? Fear not! With the NuWave oven, you can easily whip up mouthwatering biscuits in no time. Follow our comprehensive guide to learn how to make biscuits in a NuWave oven that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

1. Preheat the NuWave Oven: Preheat your NuWave oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Add Buttermilk: Gradually add the buttermilk while mixing with a fork. Do not overmix, as this will toughen the biscuits.

4. Turn Out Dough: Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

5. Knead and Shape: Knead the dough gently a few times to form a smooth ball. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces.

6. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out the biscuits. Place them on a greased baking sheet.

7. Bake: Cook the biscuits in the NuWave oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fluffy.

Tips for Perfect Biscuits

  • Use cold butter and buttermilk to create flaky layers.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible to prevent toughness.
  • Do not overbake the biscuits, as they will dry out.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.

Variations

  • Cheesy Biscuits: Add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients.
  • Herb Biscuits: Sprinkle your favorite herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano, over the biscuits before baking.
  • Sweet Biscuits: Add 1/4 cup sugar to the dry ingredients and top with a cinnamon-sugar mixture before baking.

What to Serve with Biscuits

  • Breakfast: Serve biscuits with eggs, bacon, or sausage.
  • Lunch: Use biscuits as a side dish with soups, stews, or salads.
  • Dinner: Biscuits can complement any main course, such as fried chicken, baked ham, or roasted vegetables.
