GINA'S HERB CREAM BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Stir in 1 1/2 cups of cream and the herbs and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Remove the dough to the countertop and knead briefly until it is smooth and uniform in appearance. Pat the dough out to a 1-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour to punch out dough rounds. Push the leftover dough together cut out more rounds. Arrange the biscuits on the parchment lined sheet tray.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream and the egg. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash and sprinkle with kosher salt. Put immediately into the oven and bake for 18 minutes. Transfer the biscuits from the oven to a serving platter and serve.

• Enjoy! We couldn't get enough of them -- This recipe makes a mess of biscuits and they're even better re-heated (2 in the microwave for 30 seconds is perfect).

HERBED CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, cut in butter with the dry ingredients until the mixture is coarse and crumbly. Then cut in the shortening, and mix in the scallions, parsley, and grated cheddar cheese.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in buttermilk, and stir with a fork just until dough comes together. Do not overmix. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently 6 to 8 times.
• On a clean work surface, pat dough into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut out biscuits using a floured 3-inch-round biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter. Gently re-form scraps of dough, and cut out more biscuits.
• Transfer the biscuits to a lightly buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through. Serve hot.

SHEET PAN BISCUITS WITH BACON, CHEDDAR & HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Add bacon to a medium skillet and place over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until bacon is crispy and fat is rendered, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Brush a 9" x 13" quarter sheet pan with bacon fat from the skillet and line with parchment paper. Brush parchment with additional bacon fat and set aside. Reserve remaining bacon fat.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cayenne, and salt. Add butter and using a pastry blender or two knifes, cut butter into flour until butter is pea-sized. Using your hands, begin to work the mixture with the tips of your fingers, breaking up the butter into smaller pieces and incorporating the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheddar, chives, thyme, and bacon and mix to distribute.
• Combine buttermilk, 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just incorporated. Turn mixture out on a lightly floured surface and knead 2-3 times until dough sticks together. Do not overwork.
• Pat into a 7" x 11" rectangle, about 1" thick, using flour under surface to prevent sticking as necessary. Using a floured knife, cut into 12 squares, three by four. Transfer to prepared sheet pan, spacing squares closely together but not touching.
• Combine 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat with remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Brush tops with mixture and sprinkle with Maldon salt and black pepper. Transfer to oven and bake until tops are golden brown and biscuits are just baked through, about 25-30 minutes. Tent with foil during baking if tops are too brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
