Here is the most recent variation:
Feta and Green Onion Drop Biscuits
The preparation is dangerously easy. Though, once I run out of buttermilk, I will probably take a break from filling my stomach with these lovely things. Wanna make them?
My first batch, made with crumbled bleu cheese, came from a modification of the recipe found here: The Smitten Kitchen. After making those, I have taken out a little of the salt and added a little more buttermilk.
The Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3 tsps baking powder
2 tsps sugar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 Tbs butter, cut into small pieces
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups shaken-up buttermilk
3 Tbs plain Greek yogurt
The Preparation (all in one bowl!):
Combine the first five ingredients in the bowl.
Whisk together to fluff-ify.
Add the cold Butter pieces to the dry ingredients.
Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until it looks like coarse meal.
Stir in the Green Onions and Feta cheese.
Combine the shaken Buttermilk and the Greek Yogurt in a measuring cup (stir together to break up the yogurt a bit).
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. You may need to add a little more liquid to create the dough. I probably could've used even more buttermilk.
Drop scoops of the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart (I definitely recommend this because, with the bleu cheese versions, there was some major cheese crust-age).
Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
We turned these into this morning's breakfast by stuffing them with over-easy fried eggs!
What other variations can you think of? Charlie's was tempting: horseradish, cheddar cheese, and bacon. OHMYGOSH.
Ohhhh my! Those sound and look so good!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't grow up eating this way, but having spent a lot of time with Steph's family in Georgia I would suggest biscuits every night at dinner. That's just how people in the south roll...or biscuit.
ReplyDeleteyum.
