Time 30m

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 to 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack on lower shelf. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with some pea-size lumps. Mix in buttermilk and cheese until combined. With a floured hand, knead dough against side of bowl until it holds together. If it is sticky, knead in up to 1/4 cup more flour.
  • After kneading biscuit dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough to 1 inch thick. With a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds as close together as possible. Place on a baking sheet. Gather scraps; pat again, and cut out more rounds.
  • Brush the tops with 1/2 tablespoon melted unsalted butter. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, rotating sheet halfway through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 36 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 cups dry powdered milk
1 pound cream cheese, cold
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus chilled butter for serving
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons table salt
3 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 cups shredded Cheddar
Jam, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Add the flour, powdered milk, cream cheese, butter, sugar, baking powder and salt to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until the flour resembles coarse cornmeal. With the mixer running, slowly add the buttermilk and mix until a dough forms. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough starts to stick to the sides of the mixing bowl. Stop the mixer.
  • Add the Cheddar and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 10 seconds. (You don't want to break up the cheese.)
  • Place the dough on a floured rolling surface and knead it 25 times, until the dough is soft and doesn't stick to your hands or the board. Roll out the dough to 3/4-inch thickness and cut out 36 biscuits with a biscuit cutter, transferring the biscuits to the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake the biscuits, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve with butter and jam.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 12-14 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, at room temperature
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces grated yellow cheddar cheese (about 1 1/4 cups)
3/4 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Lightly mist a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Make the biscuits: Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the shortening and pulse until combined. Add the butter; pulse 4 or 5 times, or until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Add the cheese and pulse 2 or 3 times. Pour in the milk and pulse just until the mixture is moistened and forms a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a clean surface and gently knead until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
  • Drop the dough onto the baking sheet in scant 1/4-cup portions, 2 inches apart, and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the garlic butter: Melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter and serve warm.

KIMCHI CHEDDAR BISCUITS



Kimchi Cheddar Biscuits image

Regardless of where, or even when, you're eating a biscuit, the formula's the same: a little flour, a little water, frozen butter. A pair of deft, knowing hands and an oven to bring them home. A biscuit can be a side dish of little note, or it can characterize an entire place and time, etching its own corner in your memory. The acidity and crunch of ripe kimchi meld deeply with Cheddar here, and also in versions from Kay Chun and Joy Cho, resulting in a biscuit that traverses multiple flavors from bite to bite. For the best results, chill your butter in the freezer and your buttermilk in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, quick breads

Time 55m

Yield 6 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup/145 grams drained kimchi, finely chopped
2 cups/258 grams all-purpose flour (see Tip)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup/66 grams shredded sharp Cheddar
6 tablespoons/85 grams cold unsalted butter, plus more for baking sheet
1 cup/240 milliliters cold buttermilk

Steps:

  • Stir-fry the chopped kimchi in a stainless-steel pan over medium heat until the juices have evaporated and the kimchi smells even more fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool completely.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and brown sugar in a bowl, breaking up any lumps of sugar. Add the cheese and the cooled kimchi. Stir to combine; it's all right if the dough is scraggly.
  • On the large holes of a grater, grate the chilled butter over the other ingredients and stir to combine. You want the butter to be around the size of peas. While stirring, gradually add the buttermilk and stir until combined. Be careful to handle the dough as little as possible.
  • Drop the dough in 6 mounds onto a greased baking sheet. (If your baking sheet is nonstick, line it with parchment paper instead.) Pat the mounds gently into squares.
  • Put the biscuits on their baking sheet in a freezer to chill for at least 1 hour. Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven, and allow them to sit for several minutes before serving hot.
