Black Pepper Biscuits with Orange-Blueberry Marmalade image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 16 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 cups prepared fruit, about 6 medium oranges and 4 lemons
1 1/2 cups water
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
6 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl plus 1/4 cup, divided
1/2 teaspoon butter or margarine
1 1/2 pouches fruit pectin
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup honey
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, plus 4 tablespoons, melted
1 1/2 cups cold buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, not super fine and not coarse, somewhere in between

Steps:

  • For the jam: Using a vegetable peeler remove the zest of the oranges and lemons. Cut the zest pieces into thin slices, then finely chop or grind and set aside. Peel and discard remaining white part of the peel from fruit. Chop fruit pulp, reserving any juice and set aside. Place the peels, water and baking soda in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the reserved fruit and juice and cover. Simmer an additional 10 minutes. Stir the 6 cups sugar into the prepared fruit in the saucepan. Add the butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil on high heat stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to a boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Remove from heat and skim off any foam with metal spoon. Toss the blueberries with honey. Place into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Scoop out blueberries and add to marmalade. Reduce liquid to a syrup and stir into the finished marmalade. Serve at room temperature.
  • For the biscuits: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using a dough cutter, combine until ingredients are incorporated. Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top of the flour mixture and continue to combine 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 flour counter. Pat the dough into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. 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.

FUNNEL CAKES



Funnel Cakes image

Anybody who's ever lived in or near an Italian-American neighborhood and attended a street fair has seen funnel cakes: hot discs of fried dough, crunchy on the outside and soft and warm inside. Powdered sugar is the most popular finishing touch, but I prefer to top them with cinnamon sugar. Whichever you choose, be sure to hit the funnel cakes with it the moment they come out of the oil, so that the sugar melts onto the pastry.

Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups packaged pancake mix, such as Hungry Jack
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons canola oil, or other neutral oil, plus about 3 cups, for frying
1 large egg plus one large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, or cinnamon sugar (1/2 cup granulated sugar stirred together with
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon)

Steps:

  • Put the pancake mix in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk the milk, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the egg, yolk, and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the pancake mix and stir to combine well. Put the batter in a measuring cup with a spout or similar vessel, such as a small pitcher.
  • Line a plate with paper towels. Pour oil into a cast iron skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat to a temperature of 325 degrees F to 350 degrees F.
  • Hold a funnel over the oil, a couple of inches from the surface.
  • Working very carefully to avoid splashing hot oil, pour about one-quarter of the batter into the funnel and, working from the center, drizzle a web of batter over and around to create a disk approximately 6 inches in diameter. It's desirable to have some gaps or holes in the disk, but it should be whole enough to facilitate turning it over.
  • When the bottom of the funnel cake is lightly browned, about 1 minute, turn the cake over, moving it away from you, and cook until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute.
  • Transfer the funnel cake to the paper-towel-lined plate and dust immediately with sugar.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, letting the oil reheat between cakes, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your marmalade the best flavor. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the marmalade: The marmalade is done when it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. If you overcook it, it will become too thick and sticky.
  • Let the marmalade cool completely before using: The marmalade will thicken as it cools. If you use it while it's still hot, it will be too thin.
  • Store the marmalade in a jar with a tight-fitting lid: The marmalade can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Funnel cake with blueberry marmalade is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. The funnel cake is crispy and fluffy, and the blueberry marmalade is sweet and tart. This dessert is perfect for any occasion, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
