Parmesan Black Pepper Drop Biscuits Food

PARMESAN HERB DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until the dry ingredients and the butter are mostly combined. (If you do not have a food processor, this can be done with a pastry cutter.)
• Add the Parmesan, parsley, oregano and thyme. Drizzle in the milk and pulse (or stir in with a wooden spoon) until the mixture has just turned into a dough. Be careful not to overmix, as the biscuits will become tough when baked if you do.
• Using 2 large spoons, drop 1/2-cup sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. This will make 6 generously sized biscuits.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Brush the warm biscuits with the melted butter. Enjoy!

PARMESAN-BLACK PEPPER BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Lightly grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir together Bisquick mix, water, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons of the cheese until soft dough forms.
• Sprinkle work surface with Bisquick mix. Place dough on surface; roll to coat. With rolling pin, roll into 10x8-inch rectangle. Brush with butter. Sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons cheese; press in gently. Cut crosswise into 12 strips. Gently twist each strip. Place 1/2 inch apart on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with additional pepper.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes until light golden brown. Serve warm.

PARMESAN AND PEPPER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat a convection oven to 300 degrees F. Butter a baking sheet.
• Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add the cheese, pepper, thyme and lemon zest and continue beating until evenly incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add just enough ice water to bring the mixture together (about 4 tablespoons).
• Press the dough into the prepared baking sheet. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the top and smooth the surface with your hands. Remove the parchment and bake until the edges are lightly golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for about 15 minutes, then turn out onto a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the biscuit into 1-inch squares (12 lines horizontally and 16 lines vertically).
• Using a squeeze bottle, place a dab of chutney on each biscuit and serve.

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND PARMESAN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the cayenne and a pinch of black pepper.
• Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal.
• Add the roasted peppers, the Parmesan and the milk and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough.
• Drop the dough in 6 mounds about 2 inches apart onto buttered baking sheet and bake the biscuits in the middle of the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly golden.

BLACK PEPPER AND BACON DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Cut bacon in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces; fry in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5-7 minutes. Transfer pieces to a paper towel and cool.
• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in bacon pieces.
• In a medium bowl, combine cold buttermilk and 8 tablespoons melted butter, stirring until butter forms small clumps.
• ***This may look like a mistake, but it's one of the secrets of this recipe. The clumps of butter are similar to small bits of cold butter in biscuits prepared by the traditional method. As the butter melts during baking, the steam helps the biscuits rise and gives them a light and fluffy interior.
• Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated and batter pulls away from sides of bowl.
• Using a 1/4-cup dry measure, scoop level amounts of batter and drop onto baking sheet (biscuits should measure about 2 1/4-inches in diameter and 1 1/4-inch high). Space biscuits 1 1/2-inces apart.
• Bake until the tops are golden brown and crisp, 12-14 minutes.
• Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
• Bring on the gravy!
• ### Other variations - omit the bacon and pepper and add:.
• Cheddar Scallion - 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions.
• Parmesan Rosemary- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoons finely minced rosemary.

PARMESAN-PEPPER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Pulse cheese with butter in a food processor until combined. Add flour, yolk, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then pulse until a dough forms. Roll into a 6-inch log (1 1/2 inches thick). Wrap in parchment paper and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Cut log into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool to warm on a rack.

PARMESAN BLACK-PEPPER BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pulse peppercorns in grinder until coarsely ground.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, 2 cups cheese, and 1 tablespoon ground black pepper in a large bowl. Blend in butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk 3 eggs with milk and add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a soft dough forms.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and quarter dough. Using well-floured hands, form each piece into a slightly flattened 12-inch-long log (about 2 inches wide and 3/4 inch high). Transfer logs to 2 ungreased large baking sheets, arranging logs about 3 inches apart.
• Whisk remaining egg and brush some over logs, then sprinkle tops of logs evenly with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and 1/2 tablespoon ground pepper. Bake, rotating sheets 180 degrees and switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until logs are pale golden and firm, about 30 minutes total. Cool logs to warm on sheets on a rack, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
• Carefully transfer 1 warm log to a cutting board and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices with a serrated knife. Arrange slices, cut sides down, in 1 layer on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining logs, transferring slices to sheets. Bake, turning over once, until golden and crisp, 35 to 45 minutes total. Cool biscotti on baking sheets on racks, about 15 minutes.
