Pecan Cheese Biscuits Recipes

CHEDDAR BISCUITS WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Place cheese, butter, flour, salt, and cayenne pepper in the bowl of a food processor; process until a dough is formed, about 10 seconds. Turn dough out onto work surface and divide into two equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a 1 1/2-inch-thick log; wrap with wax or parchment paper and refrigerate until dough is firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• Unwrap dough and slice each log crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place dough rounds on prepared baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart; gently press a pecan half into the center of each. Brush with egg whites and sprinkle lightly with paprika.
• Bake biscuits until crisp, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PECAN-CHEESE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Combine the butter and cheeses in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Sift the flour, salt, and cayenne directly into the food processor and process until the mixture begins to form a ball.
• Add the pecans and pulse just until the pecans are mixed.
• The mixture will be very soft.
• Divide the dough into three equal parts and place each on a piece of wax paper.
• Fold the paper over the mixture and roll into logs about 1 inch (3 cm) in diameter.
• Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour.
• Roll the chilled dough into a more regular round shape if desired.
• Unwrap the logs immediately prior to baking and slice into rounds 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick.
• Place 1/2 inch (1 cm) apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350F oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
