A biscuit that will blow you away. Filled with fragrant herbs and 2 cheeses, It's an emotional experience eating one. It's not a biscuit, it's a relationship. Ingredients:
1 cup, (2 cubes) very cold margarine or butter cut into small cubes |
4 cups ap flour |
2 tbs sugar |
2 tbs baking powder |
2 tsp. salt |
1 1/2 cups milk |
seasonings...well worth the extra work |
1 1/2 tsp bacon salt, if you would like more bacon salt flavor, substitute bacon salt for the two tsp. of regular salt fpr a total of 3 1/2 tsp bacon salt. |
1 tbs dried crushed oregano |
1 tbs dried crushed cilantro |
1 tsp ground cumin |
1 ts |
1 tsp dried crushed thyme |
1 tsp dried crushed basil |
1/2 tsp finely chopped rosemary |
1/2 tsp black pepper |
2 to 3 tsp garlic powder, your choice |
2 to 3 tsp onion powder, your choice |
1/2 cup finely shredded smoked cheddar |
1/2 cup finely shredded smoked swiss |
Directions:
1. Measure flour,sugar, baking powder, and salt into mixing bowl. Stir to blend completely
2. Add butter and working with your hands, completely blend with flour until flour resembles course corn meal.
3. Add milk and blend completely
4. Add cheeses, herbs and spices, add it all. Don't blend after each addition. Just put all herbs and spices into bowl and blend completely after all the herbs are in the bowl..
5. Blend completely.
6. At this point you can make rolled biscuite or make drip biscuits
7. I have a muffin pan that makes very LARGE muffins.
8. I use an ice cream scoop and put a dollop the size of a tennis ball into iach muffin compartment.
9. You can roll them, cut and make normal size biscuits or you can put dollops of dough whatever size you prefer on a cookie sheet and bake
10. If the biscuits are of normal size, bake 450* for 10 minutes or until golden.
11. If you are making oversized biscuits bake longer, until top is golden.
12. When they are done, remove from oven and remove from cookie sheet.
13. This recipe will make 24 regular size or about 12 extra large biscits
14. I invented this recipe the other night while I was looking at a batch of biscuit dough. On further thought, I am wondering, how about changing some of the cheese to finely shredded pepper jack cheese?
15. Also, the bacon salt, if you want to go all bacon salt, omit the 2 tsp of salt in the first part of the recipe and just add 3 tsp of bacon salt.
16. If you can't get bacon salt , just skip the extra 1 tsp of salt and go for 2 tsp.
17. Oh, I also forgot Dill. That might be a good addition.
18. Or some chopped jalapenos.
19. If you can't find bacon salt, just add some cooked crumbled bacon, or sausage.
