This recipe comes from a November 1981 issue of Bon Appetit in its Cooking Class section, featuring chef Douglas Spingler of the Silo Cooking School in New Milford, Connecticut.His recipes were for a Traditional American Thanksgiving. These are delicious with a turkey dinner and are even better for turkey sandwiches the next day! I make enough of the 2 inch biscuits for dinner, then cut ones for sandwiches a little larger.They can be made a day or two ahead or even frozen for a week, well sealed and wrapped. Prep time does not include rising time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup warm water (105*f to 115*f) |
1.5 (1/3 ounce) envelopes dry yeast |
1 pinch sugar |
6 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup milk, scalded and cooled |
1 cup minced onion |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick) |
1/3 cup minced celery leaves |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground sage |
1 teaspoon celery salt |
1 teaspoon ground thyme |
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Generously grease large mixing bowl;lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Combine water, yeast and sugar in another large bowl and let stand until foamy and proofed, about 15 minutes.
3. Stir in flour,cooled milk, onion,sugar,butter,celery leaves,sage,salt,thyme and pepper.
4. Mix until soft dough forms.
5. Transfer to floured work surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes (or use dough hook of stand mixer and mix 8 to 10 minutes); dough will be quite stiff.
6. Place dough in greased bowl,turning to coat entire surface.
7. Cover and let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volumn, about 2 1/2 hours.
8. Turn dough out onto floured work surface and roll to thickness of about 1 inch.
9. Dip a 2-inch biscuit cutter into flour and cut out biscuits.
10. Arrange close together on prepared baking sheet.
11. Cover and let rise until doubled in volumn, about 45 to 60 minutes.
12. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
13. Bake until biscuits sound hollow when tapped on bottom, about 25 minutes.
