Team Cook Extra Credit - Biscuits

[Alan Brice]

Mmmm

[Smoker_Boy]

Mods, If the Cat head biscuits recipe earlier, and the Dutch Baby needs to be reposted, I apologize.

Who knows what is supposed to go where?
Moving things gives them something to do.

[Alan Brice]

I just did not want to post where Carolyn may not see it. Now that she has it prolly needs to be moved. As does Cathead biscuit recipe. Sorry SheilaAnn

[Carolyn]

Alan Brice You can start a thread in the recipe section, copy, and tag me, then delete your recipe if you want to save SheilaAnn some bother.
or
Since, I have already copied it into Paprika. You can delete the entire post, which would be easier on both of you.

I completely forgot to take pictures when I made my biscuits, but we had some leftovers since I did a double batch. Here is a picture of the frozen leftovers. They didn’t rise much because I ran out of baking powder. I was probably 1/8 to 1/4 tsp short. I upped my baking soda a tiny bit. They tasted delightful despite that! One of my next purchases will be actual biscuit cutters so I don’t have to guess on sizing anymore.

When out of baking powder you can sub ashes from the BBQ fire. I'm serious.

[J-Melt]

I learn something new everyday!

Vanilla and nutmeg in biscuits?! That ain't how mamaw did it...

[texastweeter]

Oh ok that wasn't biscuits, lol I fat lingered the link I clicked on

[Carolyn]

I just had breakfast at a cafe in Temecula that has the biscuits how I like. They were thinner, kinda crispy top and didn't crumble into bits. 🤔Need to figure this out.

[Carolyn]

Smoker_Boy Yep. 😁
(I used to do a decent Beavis impersonation years ago.)

[Alan Brice]

He-he, heh-heh.

That has become my go-to biscuit recipe. Additions such as jalapenos and cheddar really knock these out of the park!

[Carolyn]

Thanks.

I clicked this link. Could not figure out how the coffee grounds fit in. Then it dawned on me: Must be biscuits and cowboy coffee. Then got to K Rollins' original. Yes.

In his preamble, he says he uses some cake flower to reduce crumbliness. Next time, I will use 1 cup AP, 2 cups cake flour.

[SheilaAnn]

And heres my extra credit…. These were amazing! Ugly as all get out, but really good. The recipe is from here! You would think AR knows what they are talking about on this site 😜 😉 😘





I had one half with blackberry jam and the other half with Rutty Buck! Mmmmmmmmmm

[Carolyn]

I dunno. I don't think they are ugly. A little rustic, but not ugly. 🤘

[SheilaAnn]

Per the recipe, they were supposed to be square-ish. I used my cast iron because I like it. So they filled out the CI pan, thus the triangles!

BTW, I halved the recipe!

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Ugly biscuits are my favorite with gravy. The perfect biscuits are too smooth and the gravy doesn't stick as well. These look perfect in my book

Tonight was going to be Denver omelette night and I had everything ready to go but we were out of cheddar cheese. So while I was preparing everything Kathy ran to the store to pick some up. Can you believe that our local Food Lion chain store was out of block cheddar cheese of any brand?
Since I already had the biscuits ready to go I popped them in the oven and we had them with the ham leftover after cutting off the ham pieces for the omelette.
So here is my extra credit biscuits which should have been sitting next to the Denver but couldn’t because Food Lion apparently has moved to stocking their stores using Soviet planning methods.🤬

So, tomorrow night I will post my Denver omelette sans biscuits, cheese Gods willing.

Gorgeous biscuits!

[John Henry]

Con muy perfecto!

[Alan Brice]

Whoa Nelly! I fear I have given a death sentence to my diet. Finally did the Catheads, with much trepidation. All went smoothly. Kept the butter n flour in the freezer during the mix.
Cut the mix in half per BD, pulled at 26 min of 30.
Gonna test one with jelly, but the buttermilk gravy is on the way!
I quit eating biscuits n gravy when Bob’s changed the recipe. Katie Barr the door.

Soo much for the milk gravy. My secret Santa, tamidw
gave me a jar of MarionBerry Seedless Jam from Oregon Hill.
Been looking for a good reason to break it out. None better.
I managed to save two bisquie for Kim, I think. ;-))

I made cathead biscuits again last night. Used 2 cups cake, 1 cup AP, which seemed to reduce crumbliness. But made bonehead error. Used 2 T of salt, reading off wrong line of recipe. When I dumped it in, I thought, gee that's a lot of salt. Looked at recipe, realized error, but kept going.

They turned out pretty good, but for the salt. Not the worst mistake I have made. My main issue is getting dough texture right. This one was too sticky, should have added more flour back in.

[Alan Brice]

I believe mine needed a tad less cook time, but they were deelish as well as crunchy. Also my baking pdr is old. Not hateful.
The cheese grater n stick of butter in the freezer seemed to be the ticket. It got my biscuits skeletons out of the closet. Tx guys. Still have the milk gravy to-do thing.

[yakima]

A thought for our BD.
Having leafed thru Meathead's latest opus, perhaps select something from it for our next trial by fire.
Pastalaya or some sort of fried chicken caught my eye, plus maybe a dessert or vegetable. Asparagus is coming out of our ears here.

Unrelated; picked up 2 more steelhead, $5.99/lb.
