Goat Cheese And Chive Biscuits Recipes

GOAT CHEESE AND CHIVE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place the oven rack in the middle position. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Distribute the cold butter evenly and pulse several more times to incorporate the butter. It should look like very coarse corn meal (a few larger pieces are ok).
• Add the yogurt, goat cheese and chives and process until the dough is just combined. The less the dough is worked, the more delicate the biscuits will be.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured workspace and form a large ball. Roll out the dough so it's approximately 1 1/2 inches thick and use a cookie cutter to form biscuits. Re-roll the dough as needed until all of the biscuits are formed.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned on top. Serve warm.

FLAKY GOAT CHEESE AND CHIVE BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Add the parmesan and butter, and work with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the butter is semi-incorporated with lots of almond-sized butter chunks remaining. Stir in the chives and crumble in 3 ounces of the goat cheese. Add the buttermilk little by little, stirring until the dough just begins to clump together and no dry, floury bits remain. Gently knead the dough in the bowl a few times to bring the dough together into a ball.
• If the dough is sticky, or if it becomes soft or sticky at any time, chill it in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle that is a scant 1/2" thick and roughly twice as wide as it is tall. Crumble 2/3 of the remaining goat cheese over the center square of the dough. Fold the outer short edges in to meet at the center. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese over one long side of dough, then fold the dough in half, like closing a book. You should have a long rectangle of dough layered with cheese. Press down gently to flatten, then roll the rectangle into a loose spiral, starting with a skinny end.
• Roll the layered dough into a 7x7" square that is 3/4" thick. Trim the edges away (you can bake them alongside the biscuits), then cut the dough into 16 squares. Place the biscuits on a small baking sheet in a single layer and place the pan in the freezer while you...
• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and pre-heat to 450º.
• When the biscuits are fairly firm (they don't have to be frozen solid), Place them 2" apart on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (Alternately, store the frozen biscuits in double zip-lock bags to bake off when you like.)
• Bake the biscuits until they're golden on top, 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 5-10 minutes before devouring.
• The biscuits are best the day they've been baked, but extras will keep at room temperature for a few days. Be sure to re-heat them in an oven or toaster oven until crispy.

• 8. After folding is finished pat dough down until it is 1 inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter, Place biscuits on parchment paper lined baking sheet or spray with Pam for tall biscuits let edges touch for crispy all around biscuits place biscuits apart.
