Oat Biscuits With Triple Crème Cheese And Grapes Recipes

OAT AND WHOLE-GRAIN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor; pulse until the oats are finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pour into a large bowl and form a well in the center. Gently stir in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together.
• Dust a work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Flatten the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter. Flatten and repeat from the other direction. Roll or pat out to a generous 3/4-inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a 2- to 3-inch biscuit cutter, rerolling and cutting the scraps. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches between the biscuits. Brush the tops with buttermilk.
• Bake the biscuits until risen and light golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

OAT BISCUITS WITH TRIPLE-CRèME CHEESE AND GRAPES

Steps:

• Coarsely chop oats in a food processor and transfer to a large bowl. Pulse together flour, butter, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and blend until mixture just forms a dough. Add to oats and knead until just incorporated.
• Halve dough and pat each half into a 5- by 3-inch rectangle. Chill, wrapped well in plastic wrap, until firm, about 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut 1 rectangle crosswise into scant 1/4-inch-thick slices and bake on an ungreased large baking sheet in middle of oven until undersides are a shade darker, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool and make more biscuits with remaining dough.
