Pigs Beer Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, set a baking sheet on it and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the sausage links with the oil in a large bowl. Add the sausages to the hot baking sheet, and spread out in 1 layer. Roast, turning halfway through, until lightly browned in spots and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Cut each sausage in half crosswise.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter on the large holes of a box grater, and add to the bowl, along with the scallions. Add the buttermilk, and mix together gently with a fork. When a shaggy dough forms, turn it out onto a floured surface.
• Working quickly, roll the dough out into a 14-by-8-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Trim each side by about an inch, to yield a 12-by-6-inch rectangle with clean edges. Cut twelve 1-inch-wide strips, then cut those strips in half crosswise. (You should have 24 strips, each about 1 inch by 3 inches.)
• Wrap a biscuit strip around the belly of each sausage half, and place, seam-side down, at least 1 inch apart on a clean baking sheet. Sprinkle a small pinch of cracked black pepper on top of each one. (Refrigerate up to overnight if not baking right away.) Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve with maple syrup on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry mixer until mixture is consistency of crumbs. Add a quarter cup of the beer, stirring gently to combine, and then add remaining beer and mix gently to make soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix or biscuits will be tough. Pat dough out on a floured work surface to a thickness of 1/2 - to 3/4-inches and cut into biscuits. Place on baking pan and bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar together in bowl. Rub in 2 tablespoons of butter until absorbed, and then rub in the remaining butter until mixture resembles coarse sand. Whisk the milk and sour cream into a liquid measuring cup; stir the sour cream and milk into the dry ingredients.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl and knead very lightly and flatten into a square. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 9 by 12-inch rectangle. Trim dough's rough edges with a pizza cutter or a knife, and then cut it in half lengthwise to make 2 rectangles. Lay 3 sausage links end to end, lengthwise, down the center of each piece of dough. Fold the dough over the sausages into long rolls with overlapping dough on the bottom. Slice each roll crosswise into 8 (1 1/2-inch) pieces.
• Transfer rolls to a baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with honey mustard.
