Oyster Biscuits Recipes

OYSTER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place flour, salt, baking powder, cumin or coriander, and cayenne in bowl of food processor fitted with the metal blade; pulse to combine. Add butter or shortening; pulse until coarse crumbs form. With machine running, add milk slowly through the feed tube, just until dough comes together.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead one or two times, until smooth. Roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with salt, and roll lightly to make it adhere. Using a 1 1/2-inch round or octagonal cookie cutter, cut out dough, and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Gather together scraps, and reroll to cut out additional biscuits, if desired. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

COUNTRY HAM, FRIED OYSTER BISCUIT (HOBS)

Steps:

• Bake your favorite biscuit recipe.
• Heat thinly sliced country ham. I use a prepackaged already thinly sliced for biscuits.
• Deep fry your oysters last using your favorite breading. Again I use Zatarain breading for seafood. You can make your own spiced to taste.
• Butter your hot biscuit, lay in a slice of country ham and then top with the fried oyster, if small, put two on there. Serve hot! Yummy, yummy, yummy.

GRILLED OYSTERS AND BISCUITS

Steps:

• To make biscuits: preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
• Grease baking sheets.
• In a large bowl sift together first 5 ingredients (flour - baking soda). Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk until dough comes together.
• Turn dough out onto floured board and knead for about 10 times, adding more flour if dough becomes sticky.
• Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/16 inch and cut 16 rounds using a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
• Transfer to prepared sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
• To make relish: In a skillet over medium heat fry bacon until crisp; remove and drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of grease.
• Stir water into skillet and then add tomatoes, bell peppers and garlic, simmering for 15 - 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft and mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Crumble in bacon. Set aside.
• Preheat broiler.
• Arrange oysters on broiler pan, brushing with oil and lemon juice.
• Broil for 3-5 minutes or until edges begin to curl, turning once. BE CAREFUL - DO NOT OVERCOOK!
• To assemble sandwiches: split biscuits. Spread both cut sides with relish. Top one half with oyster and cover with second half.
