Buttermilk Biscuit French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Pour into a large 4-sided sheet pan, then add bread in 1 layer and soak, turning occasionally, until bread has absorbed all liquid but is not falling apart, about 20 minutes.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Transfer 4 bread slices with a slotted spatula to skillet and cook, turning once, until slightly puffed and golden brown, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a large shallow baking pan and keep warm in oven. Cook remaining bread in 2 batches, adding 1 1/2 tablespoon butter between batches.

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl until smooth. Add buttermilk, almond extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg and beat well until batter is smooth. Dip bread into batter until evenly coated.
• Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Cook coated bread until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Combine white sugar, water, and brown sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat and cool syrup for 2 minutes. Stir maple-flavored extract and vanilla extract into syrup. Serve syrup over French toast.

Steps:

• For the syrup: Combine the golden syrup, cinnamon sticks, orange zest and juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from the heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
• Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks. Return the syrup to low heat, bring just to a simmer and whisk in the butter. Keep warm.
• For the French toast: Set a rack over a baking sheet and place inside the oven. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, half and half, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl until smooth. Arrange the biscuits, cut-side up, in a single layer in a large baking dish and pour the custard over. Let the biscuits soak, turning several times, for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours refrigerated. (These biscuits must be soaked through.)
• Heat half of the butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and shimmering. Add 4 biscuit halves, cut-side down, and cook until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking until golden brown on the second side, another 3 to 4 minutes. (Don't rush the browning by turning up the heat the biscuits are dense and you want to cook them long enough to cook through.) Transfer the finished toasts to the baking rack. Repeat the process with the remaining butter, oil and biscuit halves.
• Serve the French toast with the syrup and a dusting of confectioners' sugar.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and gently mix until a dough just begins to come together.
• Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter and pat into a 10-by-12-by-1-inch rectangle. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Reroll the scraps and cut again.
• Put the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches between them, and brush the tops with cream. Bake until lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk; stir just until the dough clings together. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently, 10-12 times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-in. round biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 11-12 minutes. Serve warm.
