SALAMI AND SCALLION BISCUITS



Salami and Scallion Biscuits image

These rich, savory biscuits are even better than the traditional ham and cheese variety. Bits of chopped salami and scallions are scattered throughout tender dough that's been enriched with heavy cream. Did we mention that they come together - start to finish - in about 45 minutes? They'll be gone in about five.

SALAMI AND SCALLION BISCUITS



Salami and Scallion Biscuits image

From the New York Times. Author Melissa Clark says these can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered with plastic, and baked while the turkey rests. I generally do not use kosher salt in baked goods, so I would probably use 1/2 tsp table salt.

SCALLION AND CHEDDAR CATHEAD BISCUITS



Scallion and Cheddar Cathead Biscuits image

Southerners are known for giving their recipes colorful names. This one got its name because each extra-large drop biscuit is as big as a cat's head. The treats are crisp and golden outside, soft and pillowy inside, and filled with scallions, cheddar cheese and just the right amount of black pepper. These cathead biscuits are quick to fix and simple to make-you don't even have to roll out the dough. -Cheryl Day, Back in the Day Bakery

SCALLION BISCUITS



Scallion Biscuits image

I prefer these biscuits with the added garlic, but I'm a bit of a garlic fiend. They're so insanely easy, even I could whip them out. I baked them on my seasoned and cornmeal sprinkled pizza stone and they came out beautifully, rose high and were light and fluffy. And I forgot to brush the tops with milk, but it really didn't make a difference as far as I could tell. This afternoon we had them with Recipe #217450 and wow, what a burst of flavor!

Time 28m

Yield 16 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup chopped scallion
3/4 cup whole milk, plus
1 tablespoon whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dried garlic (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add scallions and ¾ cup milk and stir with a fork just until a dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 6-8 times, then pat into an 8-inch square (1/2"-thick).
  • Cut into 16 (2-inch) squares and transfer to a buttered baking sheet, (or baking stone with a little cornmeal sprinkled on it) about 1 ½ inches apart.
  • Brush with remaining tablespoon milk, then bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. (13 worked in my oven).

Tips:

  • Choose the right scallions: Look for scallions that are fresh and have firm, green tops. Avoid any scallions that are wilted or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Chop the scallions finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the biscuits and ensure that you get a bit of scallion flavor in every bite.
  • Use cold butter: This will help the biscuits to be flaky and tender. If you don't have cold butter, you can freeze it for about 15 minutes before using it.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the biscuits to rise evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These scallion biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Give them a try today!
