Tex Mex Biscuits Recipes

TEX-MEX CHEESE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or butter lightly.
• In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together milk, vinegar and chili powder; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese and corn (if using). Pour in Milk mixture; stir with fork just until a soft, sticky dough forms. Drop dough by large spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet; sprinkle tops with remaining cheese. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Transfer to rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
• COOKING TIP: Extra biscuits can be cooled, wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Warm in a 350F oven for about 15 minutes before serving.

TEX-MEX BREAKFAST SAUSAGE CUPS

Steps:

• Fry sausage and crumble.
• Generously spray vegetable oil on a muffin tin. Press biscuits into 5 holes to form a cup with edges extending out of top.
• Evenly divide crumbled sausage to each biscuit-formed cup. Beat egg with milk. Spoon 1 tablespoon of egg mixture over sausage. Add 1 tablespoon of salsa onto sausage. Top each with shredded cheese. To prevent any spills, place muffin tin on top of a cookie sheet pan while baking.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 17 minutes or until done.
• Note: Can be easily doubled. Purchase another 10.2 oz can of 5 biscuits. (The larger size only has 8 biscuits per can.) For best results use Grands size biscuits only.
