BREAKFAST BISCUITS

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup powdered milk
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 stick cold salted butter, cut into bits, plus 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
8 to 12 breakfast sausage patties
8 to 12 large eggs
Hot sauce, to taste
8 to 12 slices white Cheddar

Steps:

  • For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, salt and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter bits and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly. Mix in the cheese, then fold in the buttermilk until the dough comes together.
  • On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, then set aside to cool a little.
  • For the sandwiches: Next, add the sausage patties to a skillet over medium heat and fry until cooked through. Set aside and keep warm. In the same skillet, fry the eggs, turning them over to cook the yolks through.
  • Now make a sandwich by cutting a biscuit in half. Put a sausage patty on the bottom half. Top with an egg, some hot sauce and a slice of cheese. Cover with the top and eat, or wrap in foil to keep warm.

CAST IRON BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Cast Iron Buttermilk Biscuits image

Experimentation and a need for more biscuits per batch led me to what we think are the best biscuits anywhere! For optimum flavor, these must be baked in hot, buttered cast iron skillets. They are great for breakfast with gravy or jellies. Also excellent with beef stew for dinner. My husband likes the leftover biscuits even better. He breaks them open on a plate and smothers them with molasses.

Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup cold butter, divided
1 ⅓ cups buttermilk
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place 1 tablespoon butter in two 10-inch cast iron skillets.
  • Place skillets in the preheated oven to heat up and melt butter, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix buttermilk and eggs together in a small bowl.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt in a large bowl. Rub in remaining 6 tablespoons butter with your fingers until mixture is crumbly. Gently stir in buttermilk mixture until dough just starts to come together.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 24 biscuits.
  • Remove skillets from the oven. Arrange 12 biscuits side-by-side in each, their edges touching.
  • Return skillets to the oven and bake until biscuits are puffed and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help prevent the biscuits from sticking and will give them a nice, crispy crust.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. It should be just combined, with a few small lumps.
  • Let the biscuits rest for a few minutes before baking: This will help them rise and will give you a more even bake.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them rise quickly and will give them a golden brown color.
  • Don't overcook the biscuits: Overcooked biscuits will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Cast iron loaded breakfast biscuits are a delicious and easy way to start your day. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, and they can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a hot, hearty breakfast that will keep you going all morning long.
