Ingredients
For the biscuits
- 4 tablespoons butter , cut into small pieces but still very cold (½ stick), plus 1 tablespoon for the pan
- 2 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
For the sandwiches
- 12 Biscuits
- 12 cheddar cheese thin slices
- 6 egg peeled and sliced, hard-boiled
- 6-8 lices warm , cooked bacon
Instructions
To make biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Prepare 9-inch straight sided cake pan with butter and set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and kosher salt. Add small pieces of butter and work into flour mixture with fingers until texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir buttermilk into flour mixture until it just comes together and dough is a little shaggy looking. Knead dough a few times in bowl then turn out onto lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a ½-inch thick shape.
- Cut biscuits out with 2-inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour. Place biscuits in the prepared pan. Fold remaining dough over itself and pat into another ½-inch thick shape and continue to cut biscuits until you’ve used all the dough. You should have about 12 biscuits.
- Bake 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Remove from oven and turn out into towel, cover and let rest while preparing sandwiches.
Cup of Yum
To prepare sandwiches
- Separate warm biscuits into top and bottom halves and place 1 slice of Cheddar cheese on the bottom, top with 4-5 slices of hard-boiled egg, a few slices of bacon and top biscuit half.
- Repeat with remaining biscuits.
- If biscuits have cooled and cheese doesn’t melt, place composed sandwiches on plate and place in turned off but still warm oven for 5 minutes or so for cheese to melt. Or, microwave on high for 30 seconds.
