Vodka contributes an extra measure of tender crumb to these flaky-as-can-be biscuits.
I wanted to develop a super-flaky, sweet, layered biscuit that would release steam from its belly when peeled in two, and I wanted them to be easy to perfect. The biggest antagonist to this style of biscuit is pressure.
Timing pressure, attention from a crowd, or a lack of counter space. All of which create hot hands! Which reduces your ability to keep a good portion of the butter in solid form. The solution is not special equipment; anyone should be able to make a great biscuit with just forks, a knife, and either a pastry cutter or two spatulas. The solution is attention to temperature, and ingredient composition. These ended up close to the Tandem Bakery biscuits recipe with a few tweaks. My big three findings are that frozen grated butter is a sensation for a reason, too much folding can lead to overly sticky dough , and vodka contributes an extra measure of tender crumb. Since I know you will ask: Yes, you could do all these steps in the food processor. Just be sure to scrape in any bits of butter that don’t make it through the grating disc, and lower your expectations about 10 percent; the biscuits will still be delicious, but you'll end up with a dough that rises a little less. Either way, when pressing out the dough, press gently, and from the center; as Scott Peacock told me in Alabama, biscuit dough is but “a sponge full of water.” When it comes time to cut, use the sharpest tool available and slice in a straight-down slice. Moving a blade back and forth to try to saw biscuits apart will make their layers stick .
