SAVORY CHEESE AND HERB BISCUITS



Savory Cheese and Herb Biscuits image

Not too long ago, a woman was judged by how her biscuits turned out. If you baked great biscuits, you could be guaranteed to be Good Wife Material! Well, times have changed for women but that doesn't mean that we still can't cobble up a GREAT biscuit to serve to family and friends. The base recipe is for a specific cheese/herb mixture but I have listed many variations that I have made throughout the years at the bottom of the directions. I came up with this recipe because I was tired of "cheese" biscuits where you could NEVER taste the cheese! They use shredded cheese; mine calls for chunks of cheese. This is especially tasty when the cheese chunks melt on the baking sheet, producing browned and crispy cheese bits! Please note: I have used this recipe for years and shared it with 100% success with many friends. PLEASE read the NOTE section in the Directions if you've never made biscuits. It contains all the Hints & Secrets to GREAT biscuit success! Bon Appetite!

Time 44m

Yield 18 2.5 inch biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper (MUST be freshly ground or forget it!)
1 dash cayenne pepper (no more than 1/8 teaspoon! )
8 tablespoons butter (Soft, cut into 1 tablespoon amounts to easily work into the dough)
1 cup buttermilk (Do NOT use "soured milk"! It will NOT turn out the same!!!!! I have access to Gourmet Buttermilk but)
1 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese (cut into tiny cubes the size of garden peas. The recipe sifter does not recognize this brand, but th)
1/2 cup chives, snipped into tiny pieces (I ended up wanting to use the entire plastic package of chives, which equalled about 3/4 cup lightly)
2 tablespoons heavy cream (Half and Half, Whipping Cream(for spreading on top of the biscuits before they go into the oven)

Steps:

  • Notes on how to make STELLAR biscuits:.
  • 1) Spoon flour into a dry measuring cup and level off with the straight edge of a metal knife. DON'T use a liquid measuring cup or you'll end up with too much flour and rock hard biscuits!
  • 2) I find it easier to incorporate room-temperature butter into my dry ingredients but then put the bowl with flour/butter back into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to chill the mixture. The colder your butter is, the higher your biscuits will end up. If you want to work with cold butter, this step is NOT necessary.
  • 3) Shake the carton of buttermilk before measuring and make sure the buttermilk is COLD! It keeps the butter cold, and you have a lighter, fluffier biscuit.
  • 4) Dust the work surface with All-Purpose flour when rolling and shaping the dough. (Leavening in Self-Rising flour leaves a bitter taste on the outside of the biscuit.).
  • 5) Cut STRAIGHT DOWN with a sharp biscuit cutter! Do NOT twist the cutter or you'll be sealing the edges of the biscuits and reduce the rise of them. Ditto on using a glass to cut out biscuits: both sides of the cutter need to be open to allow air to exit as you press down. The glass ends up sealing the edges of the biscuit.
  • Directions:.
  • Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
  • In a very large bowl combine all the dry ingredients: Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Sugar, Salt, Black Pepper and Cayenne Pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  • Drop the cut tablespoons of butter all around the flour mixture. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter until mixture is about the size of peas or very crumbly. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the butter to become hard; this will aid in having a very flaky biscuit.
  • Add the cheese chunks and chives to the chilled butter/flour mixture. Stir to coat them well with the flour.
  • Stir in buttermilk only until dough holds together very slightly, about 30 seconds. DO NOT OVER STIR! THIS IS THE SECRET TO INCREDIBLY FLUFFY AND LIGHT BISCUITS! The dough should "hold together" but still be very lofty and NOT packed down!
  • Turn dough out onto a floured board, kneading dough a few times (about 3-4 times) and then pat into a 5-inch x 9-inch rectangle; Sprinkle top of dough with a small amount of additional flour and fold into thirds like a letter. Repeat entire process 2 more times, beginning with pressing into a 3/4" inch-thick dough rectangle again.
  • Press or pat dough into a 1/2 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface; Dip edges of 2.5-inch biscuit cutter into flour and cut out a biscuit.DO NOT TWIST THE CUTTER! JUST PRESS FIRMLY DOWN, ONCE. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, placing biscuits side by side so they touch. Continue with existing dough. With the scraps, very lightly press dough together to form another rectangle and continue cutting out the biscuits. Caution! The MORE you work the dough and manhandle it, the tougher your biscuits will become so work with a very light hand when pushing the dough back together.
  • Brush tops of biscuits lightly with cream.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes or until biscuits are lightly browned. Take out of oven by sliding the parchment paper with biscuits attached, onto table or counter top. Allow to sit for ONLY 1 minute, and transfer to a wire rack to cool for only a couple of minutes before serving. Caution! Moisture really builds up on the bottom of these biscuits, which is why they only sit on the parchment paper for 1 minute. Cooling on the rack for 2-3 minutes allows the cheese to set enough that it does NOT burn a person's mouth when eating it!
  • VARIATIONS ON BISCUITS:.
  • 1) Feta-Oregano or Marjoram: Stir 4-8 ounces of crumbled feta cheese and 1 teaspoon of either oregano or marjoram into the chilled butter/flour mixture before adding the buttermilk. Proceed with recipe as directed.
  • 2) Bacon-Cheddar: Stir 6 cooked, drained, cooled and crumbled slices of bacon into the chilled butter/flour mixture along with 1/2 a cup of cubed Cheddar Cheese. Omit chives. Proceed with recipe as directed.
  • 3) Gruyere-Rosemary: Stir in 1 cup of cubed Gruyere cheese and 1/2 tablespoon of fresh, snipped rosemary into the chilled butter/flour mixture. Use 1/4 cup of snipped chives and 1/2 tablespoon of freshly ground black peper. Proceed with recipe as directed.
  • 4) Havarti-Dill: Stir in 1 cup of cubed Havarti cheese with 1 tablespoon of freshly snipped dill into the chilled butter/flour mixture. Omit chives. Proceed with recipe as directed.
  • 5) Pimento Cheese: Stir in 1 cup cubed Sharp Cheddar Cheese with 1-4 ounce jar of DRAINED and patted dry Pimento into the chilled butter/flour mixture. Omit chives. Proceed with recipe as directed.
  • 6) The ONE failure that I had was with Pepperjack Cheese. The actual cheese is too mild to taste in the end results and the remaining hot peppers were too much for the biscuit. Avoid this combination!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 40m

Yield Makes 9 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus more for serving
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped chives
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, plus more for serving
1 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Sliced ham, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk mustard into buttermilk, then slowly drizzle over flour-butter mixture (to evenly distribute) while stirring with a fork. Stop stirring when dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Transfer to center of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather dough with your hands, pressing firmly to bind, and flatten it into a 6-by-10-inch rectangle. Lift parchment along a short end of dough and fold in half, forming a 6-by-5-inch rectangle. Turn dough 90 degrees; gently reflatten to 6 by 10 inches. Fold in half again and flatten slightly into a 6-inch square.

HERB-GRUYERE BISCUITS



Herb-Gruyere Biscuits image

Recipe by Grace Parisi from Perfecting Biscuits, published in F&W magazine, November 2007 edition. The unbaked biscuits can be frozen: freeze biscuits in a single layer and transfer to resealable plastic bag for up to one month. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few minutes to the cooking time. The herb-and-cheese combination is infinitely variable - try cheddar and minced chives or chopped rosemary and Parmesan.;)

Time 40m

Yield 10-12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped sage leaf
1 cup shredded gruyere
8 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 cup buttermilk, chilled
flaky salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
  • In a large shallow bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine salt.
  • Add the chilled butter and use a pastry blender or 2 knives to cut the butter into the flour until it is the size of peas.
  • Add the chopped thyme and sage, and the Gruyere.
  • Stir in the buttermilk just until the dough is moistened.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour.
  • Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead 2 or 3 times, just until it comes together.
  • Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick disk.
  • Using a floured 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter, stamp out biscuit rounds as closely together as possible.
  • Gather the scraps and knead them together 2 or 3 times, then flatten the dough and stamp out more biscuit rounds.
  • Pat the remaining scraps together and gently press them into a biscuit.
  • Transfer the biscuits to a large baking sheet and brush the tops with the melted butter.
  • Lightly sprinkle the biscuits with a few grains of flaky salt and chill until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Bake the biscuits for 20 minutes, or until golden.
  • Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create flaky biscuits. If you use melted butter, the biscuits will be more dense.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Let the dough rest: Letting the dough rest before baking will help to develop the flavor and make the biscuits more tender.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: A high temperature will help to create a crispy crust and fluffy interior.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Herb biscuits are best served warm out of the oven. You can also store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Herb biscuits are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are also a great snack or appetizer. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these biscuits at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these herb biscuits a try.
