Author: Phillip Fryman | SouthernFATTY.com
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6-8 biscuits
- 2 cups (240 grams) flour, all-purpose
- 1 tablespoon (5 grams) baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (3 grams) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
- ½ cup (115 grams) butter, unsalted, FROZEN
- 1 cup buttermilk, very COLD
- 6 ounces (175 grams) chorizo, ground
- 8 ounces (227 grams) Tillamook Farmstyle Cut Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese (click to find)
- buttermilk or cream, to finish
- Check out the Biscuits 101 guide for some tips and tricks before starting.
- Pre-heat oven to 450 F with rack in center.
- Start by browning the chorizo until fully cooked, about 5 minutes.
- Remove to a mixing bowl and set aside.
- Combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and soda, salt) and whisk well in a large bowl.
- Grate frozen butter with larger side of a box grater. Alternatively, you can chop it finely, about pea-sized, as evenly as possible. Keep frozen.
- Combine grated butter with flour mixture and stir to evenly distribute.
- Add the cooked chorizo and coat with flour mixture.
- Saving about ¼ of the cheese top top the biscuits, add the remaining ¾ of the 8 ounces of Tillamook Farmstyle Cut Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese (click to find) to the dry mixture.
- Pour the cold buttermilk over the flour mix and use a wooden spoon to combine.
- Do not overmix. Mix just enough for the dough to form when pressed together and stop.
- If it has started to warm, chill the dough for 10-15 minutes prior to rolling.
- Press the dough onto a lightly floured surface at about 1 inch in height.
- Fold the dough over itself and roll dough to 1 inch again.
- Using a floured cutter, press biscuits out. Press straight down, not twisting for best results.
- Transfer biscuits to sheet pan.
- Lightly brush tops of biscuits with the additional cream.
- Sprinkle with remaining Tillamook Farmstyle Cut Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese (click to find).
- Bake until golden and cheese has fully melted, about 15 minutes.
- Enjoy with friends and family!
