Ok, guys here is one of my favorite recipes and some background as to why. I moved here to Japan about 6 years ago and what they call biscuits we call cookies. Every once in a while I get a craving for one of two things. A Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit (Burger King was the bestt for these) or Country Kitchen's Biscuit's an Gravy. So here goes. 3 cups regular flour (sifted is best but you can do it either way) 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 stick butter (room tempreature) 3/4 cup of milk (if you don't care about calories use cream) 3 tablespoons of baking power Put the ingredients in a mixing bowl in the above order and mix with a rubber spatula (never beat!) Roll out the mixture on a cutting board to about 1/2 thick and cut with a round cookie cutter. They sell many sizes but I like about a 3.5 to 4 inch biscuit. This recipe makes about 9 biscuits. Put the biscuits on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 9-12 minutes depending on your oven. Take the biscuits out and let them cool. fry up about 12 slices of bacon and cut in half (you can use the store sausage patties if you like or even ham) and set these aside, you'll need them later. Also keep away from the kids with greedy fingers or you will have no bacon for the biscuits. beat 6 eggs and 1/2 cup of milk use a non-stick spray like PAM for a frypan and put it over medium heat, when the pan gets up to temp put it down to low and dump in the egg mixture (if you like you can add spinich and or parsley) Cover the egg mixture and let it cook until solid and fluffy. section the egg mixture into 9 even pieces kind like a tic-tac-toe board and set aside. Cut your biscuits in half and slap on a slice of cheese (I usually use 1/2 a slice for each side of the biscuit, that way things don't slide off. top with two halves of bacon on the lower half of the biscuit Put back in the oven for about 1 minute until the cheese is melted remove and add the slice of egg and (here is where I differ from BBKing but it really works! The Kids like Salsa on their biscuits but I top with Mayonaise (not just any kind either, look for an asian grocery store where you are located and buy Japanese Kewpie Mayonaise, it kicks the s#@t out of American mayo. top the biscuit and eat. repeat if necessary. Now for the gravy is you don't want a bacon egg and cheese biscuit.... The acutal name for the Sausage gravey is "milk gravy", "sawmill gravy" or "country gravy", but that is neither here nor there. Cook you sausages in a heavy skillet (best is cast iron, if ya got it). Remove sausage with a slotted spoon but leave the fat; set aside for a later use. Remove all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of grease from the skillet. Over medium heat, stir 3 tablespoons of flour into the grease. Stir constantly until browned, about 5 minutes. Stirring constantly, pour in 1 cup of regular milk. Add your sausage back in Pour over two open faced biscuits and proceed to stuff yourself. Hope you enjoy.... |

Indeed only in the US are these called biscuits. "biscuit" is french for "twice baked" so it's a bit strange to call this product a biscuit. I guess it's short for "biscuit roll"? In the Netherlands we usually eat the double baked end result (biscuit roll cut in halves and then baked again). Great with cheese and covered with sugar covered anise seeds (called mice) it's a traditional treat when a baby is born. At what temperature do you bake them? |

Sorry guys, was looking back through my post and found that I didn't give you the temp for the oven. I set it at about 220 degrees c but you can set it at about 350-375 if you are using f. Hope that helps. |

I hope to try them out soon. Or maybe I'll just buy the buscuit rolls and add the bacon to that :) |
