CHEDDAR AND BLACK PEPPER BISCUITS



Cheddar and Black Pepper Biscuits image

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus additional melted butter, for brushing
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus a bit more for rolling
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
3/4 cup buttermilk (see Cook's Note)
Spiced Honey Butter, recipe follows
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the butter into small dice and freeze until ready to use. Combine the flour, Cheddar, baking powder, pepper and salt in a bowl. Add the frozen butter and blend in using a pastry cutter until the butter is in pieces no larger than green peas. Add all of the buttermilk at once and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. (The mixture will look a little dry and uneven.) Turn the dough onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 3 to 4 minutes to make a smooth dough; add flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
  • With well-floured hands and working on a well-floured surface, press the dough into a flat sheet, about 1 inch thick. Fold lengthwise into thirds (as you would fold a letter). Repeat this process 2 more times.
  • After folding the dough the third time, roll the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick sheet using a rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough using a 3-inch cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and reroll until all the dough is used. (Cut biscuits can be refrigerated overnight.)
  • Bake until golden and risen, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with Spiced Honey Butter.
  • Combine the butter, honey, salt, garlic and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth. Transfer to ramekins, then chill to firm slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Spiced Honey Butter keeps, tightly wrapped and refrigerated, up to 3 weeks.

BLACK PEPPER AND BACON DROP BISCUITS



Black Pepper and Bacon Drop Biscuits image

This is one variation of a Cook's Illustrated recipe for Best Drop Biscuits. As usual, details abound in the directions which suits me, a nervous baker, to a tee.

Provided by SusieQusie

Categories     Breads

Time 27m

Yield 12 biscuits, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices bacon
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1 cup cold buttermilk
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing tops of biscuits

Steps:

  • Cut bacon in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces; fry in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5-7 minutes. Transfer pieces to a paper towel and cool.
  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in bacon pieces.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cold buttermilk and 8 tablespoons melted butter, stirring until butter forms small clumps.
  • ***This may look like a mistake, but it's one of the secrets of this recipe. The clumps of butter are similar to small bits of cold butter in biscuits prepared by the traditional method. As the butter melts during baking, the steam helps the biscuits rise and gives them a light and fluffy interior.
  • Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated and batter pulls away from sides of bowl.
  • Using a 1/4-cup dry measure, scoop level amounts of batter and drop onto baking sheet (biscuits should measure about 2 1/4-inches in diameter and 1 1/4-inch high). Space biscuits 1 1/2-inces apart.
  • Bake until the tops are golden brown and crisp, 12-14 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
  • Bring on the gravy!
  • ### Other variations - omit the bacon and pepper and add:.
  • Cheddar Scallion - 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions.
  • Parmesan Rosemary- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoons finely minced rosemary.

Black Pepper Biscuits Recipe image

Provided by wing118677

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups cold buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse twice to distribute the ingredients evenly. Scatter the butter over the top of the flour mixture and pulse 4 or 5 times or until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and pulse until the mixture just begins to come together. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Pat the dough into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter to make 8 biscuits then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the scraps of dough, and repeat process. Place the biscuits on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper; brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: This ensures that you have complete control over the amount of salt in the biscuits.
  • Chill the butter and biscuit dough: This helps to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Use fresh black pepper: Freshly ground black pepper will give the biscuits the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will result in tough biscuits.
  • Cut the biscuits close together: This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These black pepper biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make addition to any meal. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can also be served as a snack or appetizer. The biscuits are flaky, buttery, and have a slight kick from the black pepper. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
