Biscuit Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Invert a 6-cup muffin tin and spray the underside with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Stir together the biscuit mix, milk and cayenne in a medium mixing bowl.
• Shape into a ball.
• Turn out onto floured surface and knead 2 to 4 times.
• Divide the ball into 6 pieces.
• Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle.
• Place 1 dough circle over each muffin cup.
• Press around the cup to form a bowl shape.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Let cool slightly. Remove the biscuit bowls and reserve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Place two muffin tins upside down; spray bottoms and sides of eight alternating muffin cups. On a work surface, roll or press biscuits into 4-in. circles. Sprinkle both sides with cornmeal, pressing lightly to adhere. Place biscuits over greased muffin cups, shaping biscuits around cups., Bake 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully remove biscuit bowls from pans; cool on a wire rack. , Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until beef is no longer pink; drain. Stir in beans, V8 juice, ketchup and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Serve in biscuit bowls; top with cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Fill a wooden biscuit bowl 2/3 full with as much of the bag of flour as possible. Use the back of a hand to form and simultaneously pack an 8-inch well in the center of the flour leaving a small amount on the bottom. Gently pour the milk into the well-packed enter of the well. Scoop 1/3 cup of room-temperature lard into the milk. Using the fingers of one hand, mush together the milk and fat until it looks like thick lumpy pancake batter. Making a massaging motion with the fingers of one hand, slightly akin to playing the scales on a banjo, move the batter around the well in a whirlpool. Continue moving the fingers steadily around the bowl as a rotary mixer would, like a centrifuge. The batter will gently pull in the packed flour. After a few rotations, it will have pulled in sufficient flour to make a very wet dough in the center of the bowl, cradled by the rest of the flour.
• Re-flour both hands in the remaining flour and scrape the wet mess of the gooey hand back into the dough. Re-flour both hands and slide under the dough, turning it completely over in the remaining flour with the wet portion of the flour at the bottom of the dough and the top portion completely floured. Re-flouring hands as needed, pinch off an egg-sized portion of the dough sufficient for a 1 1/2-inch biscuit. The portion pulled from the dough will be wet. Dip it into the flour so the total exterior of the dough will be wet. Dip it into the flour so the total exterior of the dough is now floured. Cup one hand, making sure the palm is floured, and move the dough on top of the palm. Use the palm of the second hand to smooth the top of the dough with pinkie and thumb to keep it round. Using a metal spatula if necessary, move the biscuit to an iron skillet or small baking sheet. Repeat with subsequent biscuits, nestling close to each other to keep upright. When pan is full and dough is all used, re-sift flour into the bowl, discarding any pieces of dough left in the sifter, and cover flour with a clean tea towel to use the next day.
• Bake the biscuits on the top rack of the oven for a total of 10 to 14 minutes until light golden brown. After 6 minutes, rotate the pan in the oven so that the front of the pan is now turned to the back, and check to see if the bottoms are browning too quickly. If so, slide another baking pan underneath to add insulation and retard browning. Continue baking another 4 to 8 minutes until the biscuits are light golden brown. When the biscuits are done, remove from the oven and lightly brush the tops with softened or melted butter. Turn the biscuits out upside down on a plate to cool slightly. Serve hot, right side up.

Steps:

• Mix rub ingredients together and rub all over pork roast. Pour olive oil into bottom of crock pot. Place roast into pot with onion, bell pepper, garlic, and bay leaves. slow cook about 4 hours.
• Discard bay leaves. Remove roast, chop up or 'pull' the pork apart using two forks to seperate the meat. Add pork back to pot along with the chili beans (including sauce), brown sugar, and honey. Slow cook an additional 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• TO MAKE BISCUITS: Preheat oven to 350°F Stir together the baking mix, milk, and cayenne. Shape into a ball. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 3 or 4 times. Divide the ball into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle.
• Using an inverted jumbo muffin pan, spray cooking spray over every other muffin cup. Place a dough circle over the inverted greased cups. Press around the cup to form a bowl shape.
• Tap tops with flat surfaced item so they will stand up after baking (I use the cap of the spray can).Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool slightly.
• SERVE: Spoon some of the chili into each of the biscuit bowls. Top with cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F Mix first 4 ingredients together in a bowl.
• Cut in butter with a pastry blender or a fork, or two knives, until crumbly.
• Add milk.
• Stir until it forms a ball.
• Add a bit more milk if necessary to make a soft dough.
• Roll or pat to 1 inch thick. (I usually pat the dough).
• Cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or a floured glass.
• Arrange on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake in 425 F for about 10- 12 minutes or until risen and nicely browned. (in my oven it usually takes 15 minutes).
• This is supposed to make 12, but I almost always only get 11 biscuits, with the size of the glass that I use.
• Variations: Try adding some fresh or dried herbs. Some good pairings are basil and oregano, or parsley and fresh ground black pepper, or thyme and garlic, or add some grated sharp or old cheddar cheese.
