Rosemary Black Pepper Cheddar Biscuits With Bacon Gravy And Toma Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with vegetable oil.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender, or use 2 knives, until the butter is the size of peas; stir in the cheese and bacon.
• Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture just until incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and pat or roll the dough to 3/4-inch thickness; cut with a 3-inch round cutter, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the butter into small dice and freeze until ready to use. Combine the flour, Cheddar, baking powder, pepper and salt in a bowl. Add the frozen butter and blend in using a pastry cutter until the butter is in pieces no larger than green peas. Add all of the buttermilk at once and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. (The mixture will look a little dry and uneven.) Turn the dough onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 3 to 4 minutes to make a smooth dough; add flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
• With well-floured hands and working on a well-floured surface, press the dough into a flat sheet, about 1 inch thick. Fold lengthwise into thirds (as you would fold a letter). Repeat this process 2 more times.
• After folding the dough the third time, roll the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick sheet using a rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough using a 3-inch cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and reroll until all the dough is used. (Cut biscuits can be refrigerated overnight.)
• Bake until golden and risen, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with Spiced Honey Butter.
• Combine the butter, honey, salt, garlic and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth. Transfer to ramekins, then chill to firm slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Spiced Honey Butter keeps, tightly wrapped and refrigerated, up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º.
• In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix by hand until incorporated.
• Transfer to a mixer in small batches and process in short bursts until better is 'cut in." This insures the fat is well dispersed throughout the dough. If you prefer you can also do this step by hand.
• Do not over-mix to avoid chewy biscuits.
• Dough will be sticky.
• Using a small 3/4" ice cream scoop (larger if you prefer larger biscuits), portion out onto a non-stick baking pan (cover pan with parchment and spray with Pam) and bake at 375º for 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the bacon, flour, cheddar cheese, McCormick® Freeze-Dried Chives, baking powder, McCormick® Pure Ground Black Pepper, salt, baking soda, garlic powder, grated butter, and buttermilk. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gently shape and roll out to a 1¼-inch-thick rectangle.
• Using a 3-inch round cutter or drinking glass, cut out biscuits from the dough, gathering and rerolling the scraps up to 3 more times; you should have about 20 biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly, and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water. Remove the biscuits from the freezer and brush the tops with the egg wash.
• Bake the biscuits for 14-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
• Leftover biscuits will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or you can freeze unbaked biscuits in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 3 months.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bake biscuits according to package directions.
• Cook the bacon in a deep skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate and keep the grease in the pan. Gradually stir in the flour so that no lumps form, then mix in the milk, continuing to cook and stir until thickened. Crumble the bacon into the gravy and season with salt and pepper before serving.
• Split biscuits in half, top with gravy, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into drippings until smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook the flour mixture until it turns a caramel brown color, stirring constantly, about 15 minutes. Be careful, the roux burns easily. Stir in salt and black pepper.
• Whisk 1/2 cup milk into the roux until thoroughly blended. Continue whisking milk into the gravy, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking in each amount of milk completely before adding more. Bring gravy to a simmer and whisk constantly until thick, smooth, and bubbling.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Combine first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Stir in bacon. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir with fork just until mixture forms soft dough.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead 20 times or until smooth and no longer sticky.
• Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 16 rounds with 2-inch cookie cutter, re-rolling scraps as necessary. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheet.
• Bake 10 min. or until golden brown.
