The original recipe was Giant Sweet Cheddar Biscuits (I added in some scallions)
2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1/2 cup shredded medium or sharp cheddar cheese (I used the 4 cheese pre shredded stuff)
{To Taste (or omit) scallions}
1 large egg
2/3 cup, approximately, milk
1 cup generous, 1/2-inch chunks sharp cheddar cheese (since I was using pre shredded and since the diced cheese has more volume I only added in an additional 1/2 cup of shredded, it worked out very well)
Melted, butter for brushing
flour, for dusting
Preheat oven to 425F
in a bowl add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and blend. Rub in butter. Make well and add in the egg and half the milk and mix. Then slowly add in the other milk until the dough is stiff, you could have some left, if you added too much add in a dusting of flour. Add in the remaining cheese.
Dump onto a floured surface. Roll out until 3/4-inch and cut into rounds with a cutter or glass (you also press into pan an make square and half way threw cooking process score to the size you want.
brush tops with melted butter (the recipe said to add flour but I skipped that)
Bake for 17-22 minutes, mine only took 15 minutes since they were smaller than suggested.
Milk Gravy
(from Paula Deen)
1/4 cup bacon grease
1/4 cup ap flour
1-1/2 cup warmed milk
1/4 teaspoon salt (I added more)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons melted butter
okay so Paula said to make in cast iron skillet....but since I don't have one...my dad made bacon for breakfast to I took the grease.
so what I did was warm the pot and the add the grease and let it warm for a short time more and then add the flour and whisk until smooth and bubbly about 1 minute. Slowly add warm milk and bring to boil. Reduce heat and bring to a low simmer and stir until thickened about 5 minutes, you can add more milk to adjust the thickness. Stir in melted butter (my add) and salt and pepper.
smooth them biscuits and enjoy!!
