Salami And Scallion Biscuits Recipes

QUICK SCALLION BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the milk, zest and lemon juice in a tall glass. Refrigerate and allow to curdle for 10 to 15 minutes, until thick. Sift together the flour, a generous pinch of salt, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Using your fingers gently mix in the butter until an even, but grainy texture is reached, being careful not to melt the butter as you work. Add the soured milk and scallions and stir until the dough comes together. (Dough will be sticky.) Gather the dough into a ball, and refrigerate 15 to 20 minutes, until chilled.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead 3 to 4 times until the dough is smooth. For fluffy biscuits do not over knead the dough! Roll out the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch pastry ring or the top of a glass. Arrange the biscuits on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Allow the biscuits to slightly touch and gently adhere when baked. Bake until biscuits are golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a bread basket or bowl and serve.

SCALLION BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE AND GRAVY

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all dry ingredients in the bowl of a mixer. On medium speed add heavy cream and scallions, mix just until it pulls together, not wet. On a lightly floured work surface roll out 1/4-inch thick. Cut 3-inch rounds and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bake for 8 minutes. Cool. Yield: about 24 biscuits
• For the gravy: In a saute pan over medium heat cook the sausage in the peanut oil. Remove from pan when thoroughly cooked. In sausage drippings saute onions until translucent and tender sprinkle with the flour and stir with wooden spoon for 2 to 3 minutes. Add water and stir to combine and eliminate any lumps. Bring to a boil. Add salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Reduce to a simmer until desired flavor develops.
• To assemble: Slice biscuits in half lengthwise. Layer sausage on bottom slice, spoon gravy over top of sausage and place lid on. Serve with your favorite eggs.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Add scallions and ¾ cup milk and stir with a fork just until a dough forms.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 6-8 times, then pat into an 8-inch square (1/2"-thick).
• Cut into 16 (2-inch) squares and transfer to a buttered baking sheet, (or baking stone with a little cornmeal sprinkled on it) about 1 ½ inches apart.
• Brush with remaining tablespoon milk, then bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. (13 worked in my oven).

SALAMI AND SCALLION BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into dry ingredients. Add soppressata and scallions and combine gently. Add cream and mix, preferably with your hands, until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 turns, just until dough comes together. If dough is dry and crumbly, add more cream as needed. Gently pat dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 6 to 8 biscuits. Press scraps together and cut out another 2 to 4 biscuits.
• Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet and brush generously with softened butter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until biscuits are lightly browned.
