Biscuit Log Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Pour milk into flour mixture while stirring with a fork. Mix in milk until dough is soft, moist and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and toss with flour until no longer sticky. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and cut with a floured biscuit or cookie cutter. Press together unused dough and repeat rolling and cutting procedure.
• Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheets and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat dough to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter., Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Lie approximately 40cm aliminum foil on a flat surface (enough to fully cover the log you will make) Whip the cream until thick Place a thick strip of the thickened cream in the middle of the aliminum foil Dunk the edges of a biscuit in the liquor, cover both sides of the biscuit with the thickened cream Place the biscuit standing upright into one end of the cream strip Repeat with the next biscuit but only covering one side with cream Press the biscuit into the cream of the first biscuit so the cream covered side is facing out.
• Repeat this process until there are no biscuits left.
• You will have a biscuit, cream, biscuit sandwich effect With the remaining cream, cover the entire log in cream.
• Grate the chocolate and cover the entire log Now wrap the log in the aliminum foil and place into the freezer until ready to be used.

Steps:

• Have ready an oblong dish which will be your serving dish.
• Place sherry or liquid of choice in a shallow bowl.
• Beat the cream with the golden syrup and cocoa until firm and holds it shape.
• Dip quickly a biscuit into the liquid of choice (dont soak) and spread one side with the cream.
• Do a second biscuit and sandwich together.
• Stand these on the serving dish on their edge.
• Continue until all bisciuts are used and you have a 'log'.
• Spread remaining cream over the log to enclose the biscuits.
• Decorate as desired. I like to put a row of glace red cherries along the top then sprinkle with chocolate chips or shaved chocolate.
• Place in fridge for at least 2 hours if possible although can be eaten soon after making, it just wont be as soft.
• Note:.
• This can also be made using plain sweetened whipped cream.

Steps:

• Mix the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon, then add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and briefly beat to combine.
• Sift over the flour and stir until the mixture is well combined - you might need to get your hands in at the end to give everything a really good mix and press the dough together.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a food processor. Cut butter into pats and add to flour, then pulse 5 or 6 times until the mixture resembles rough crumbs. (Alternatively, cut butter into flour in the mixing bowl using a fork or a pastry cutter.) Return dough to bowl, add milk and stir with a fork until it forms a rough ball.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and pat it down into a rough rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold it over and gently pat it down again. Repeat. Cover the dough loosely with a kitchen towel and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
• Gently pat out the dough some more, so that the rectangle is roughly 10 inches by 6 inches. Cut dough into biscuits using a floured glass or biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter when cutting; this crimps the edges of the biscuit and impedes its rise.
• Place biscuits on a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
