Cheddar Apple Biscuits Food

APPLE, HAM AND CHEDDAR BISCUIT CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Saute until the apples are tender and start to stick when you scoot them around the pan, about 5 minutes. The butter and sugar will caramelize and become slightly sticky. Add the ham and rosemary. Saute until the ham gets some nice sear marks here and there, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll out the biscuits until 3 1/2 inches wide and gently press them into 10 cups of a muffin tin. Spoon the filing evenly into each cup, then top each with the Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and starting to lightly brown and bubble, about 15 minutes.
• Pop each biscuit out of the tin and transfer to a platter or cutting board. Garnish with rosemary and serve immediately.

FLUFFY CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Arrange the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and paprika to combine. Add the 1/2 cup cubed butter and toss until each piece is coated completely in flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to rub the butter into the flour, continuing to work the mixture until the butter is almost fully blended into the dough. There can still be a few larger pieces of butter, but none should be larger than a pea. If the butter feels soft or melty at any point, refrigerate the mixture in the bowl for 15 minutes before continuing.
• Stir in 1 1/2 cups/170 grams of the cheese into the flour mixture. Make a well in the center of the bowl. In a liquid measuring cup or in a small bowl with a spout, whisk the buttermilk and egg until well combined. Pour the mixture into the medium bowl and, using a wooden spoon, stir until the mixture is combined. Near the end, you may have to fold it over itself a few times in the bowl to make sure it's uniformly combined. (Resist the urge to use your hands so that the mixture doesn't get too soft or compressed.)
• Scoop the dough into 12 even portions (about 1/2 cup/80 grams each) onto the prepared sheet pan. Stagger the biscuits on the baking sheets. (You should have 6 biscuits per sheet pan.)
• Brush each biscuit with the melted butter (you won't use it all) and divide the remaining shredded cheese among the tops of the biscuits (about 2 teaspoons per biscuit).
• Transfer to the oven and bake the biscuits for 15 minutes, then brush each biscuit with butter again, and rotate the pans between the oven racks. Continue to bake until the biscuits are light golden and the cheese on top is deeply golden, 5 to 10 minutes more. The biscuits should spring back gently when touched in the center.
• Brush the finished biscuits generously with the remaining butter. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving warm (or cool completely and serve at room temperature).

• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, buttermilk, salt and pepper until soft dough forms. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Add chopped apples and remaining cheese to dough; stir until incorporated.
• Place dough on work surface sprinkled with additional Bisquick mix; knead 10 times. Roll dough into 1/2-inch-thick square. Cut into 9 biscuits. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
