GREEN ONION AND CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• In large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Then add the butter and mix with your hands until the mixture resembles cornmeal. You can pulse the mixture together with a food processor if you prefer. Add 1 cup of the cheese and all of the green onion. Gently stir in the buttermilk, and the milk starting by adding 1/4 cup and adding more as necessary. You want the dough to be sticky, but not overly wet. I found that adding 1/3 cup of milk was just right, but you might need slightly more or less. Cover the dough and let it sit for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, move an oven rack so it is at the level where it is on the top third of your oven. Heat your oven to 425 degrees. Pour the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Fold the dough up into thirds and roll it out again. Repeat this two more times, this gives the biscuits flaky layers. Use a biscuit cutter to divide the dough into about 12 biscuits. Or just a knife to cut the biscuits into squares. Place the biscuits on a silicone mat or parchment lined baking sheet. Do not place the biscuits in the oven until the temperature reaches 425 degrees. Place the biscuits on a rack on the top third of the oven - not just in the middle. Bake the biscuits for 12 minutes. Then remove from the oven and brush melted butter and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the biscuits. Let cook for another 3 minutes, until the biscuits are just starting to brown. Then turn on the broiler for about a minute to get the cheese nice and crispy.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles course crumbs. Stir the onion, Parmesan cheese, and Cheddar cheese into the flour mixture. Pour the buttermilk into the bowl; stir until evenly combined. Drop by 1/4-cupfuls onto prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the biscuits are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

DOUGHNUT GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the bacon on a wire rack fitted over a baking sheet and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Bake until dark brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Break each slice in half and reserve.
• Cut the tomatoes into 4 to 5 slices each. Place a large saute pan or grill/griddle pan over medium heat and add a pat of butter. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper, add to the pan and cook until warmed through but still solid.
• Cut the doughnuts in half and butter the outside of each half. Place 4 doughnut halves buttered-side down in the same pan. Layer on a slice of cheese, a few slices of grilled tomato, a dash of hot sauce, 1 to 2 bacon pieces and another slice of cheese. Place the 4 remaining doughnut halves on top to make sandwiches and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until the cheese is melted, the sandwiches are heated through and there is a nice crust on the bottom, another 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
• Heat the oil to 365 to 375 degrees F in a cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cheese, scallions, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix to combine, making sure there are no dry bits left.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly coat with flour. Pat the dough into a 1-inch disc. Then, using a large glass dipped into flour, cut out rounds for the doughnuts. Press the dough back together to cut out another doughnut or 2. Dip your finger into the flour, then press it into the center of each doughnut while it is on the floured surface to create a hole. Move your finger around in the hole to make it larger. Turn the doughnut over and repeat on the other side to make sure the hole is clear and large.
• When the oil is ready, place the doughnuts into the oil carefully and fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side. The doughnuts are thick and take time to cook all the way through. You can flip them every minute to keep them from browning too much on each side. Transfer the doughnuts to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt. Serve immediately.
