These are great for day-after-thanksgiving biscuits and gravy. They are not quite as tender and flaky as regular biscuits, but they have a great rich flavor. Ingredients:
2 ounces bacon or 2 ounces prosciutto, diced, cooked and cooled |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
4 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into cubes |
1/2 cup cooked mashed potatoes |
2 ounces parmesan cheese or 2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
about 2 tbls milk |
1 egg yolk, beaten |
Directions:
1. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter cubes and cut in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
2. Add the potato, cheese, oregano and cooked bacon, mix well. Add enough milk to form a soft, but firm dough.
3. Turn dough out onto a floured board and roll or pat out to about 1/2 thick. Cut with a 2 round cutter and place each biscuit onto a well greased baking sheet. Reroll the trimming until as much dough as possible in used.
4. Brush with egg yolk and bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and well risen.
