My “crazy” (she said lovingly) Aunt Mimmie joined my mom in Heaven this past Sunday, December 13. I just know they are having such a grand reunion!
Join in the fun with MERRY MERRY MUNCHIES. Add your post to Mister Linky and be in the running for a giveaway.
This delicious biscuit recipe is a Southern Living favorite of mine. I hope you will enjoy it as well.
They are equally good at any meal. I like to make them into brunch size biscuits and serve them with peppered ham.
Pimiento Cheese Biscuits
2014-09-12 07:13:37
Yields 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 1/4 cups self-rising soft-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimiento, drained
- Self-rising soft-wheat flour*
- 2 Tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Combine shredded cheese and 2 1/4 cups flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle butter into flour and toss gently.
- Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender until crumbly and mixture resembles small peas.(You can do this in your food processor IF you are very careful and do not over process.)
- Cover and chill 10 minutes.
- Combine buttermilk and diced pimiento; add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3 to 4 times, gradually adding additional flour as needed.
- With floured hands, press dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (about 9 x 5 inches).
- Sprinkle top of dough with additional flour.
- Fold dough over onto itself in 3 sections, starting with 1 short end. (Fold dough rectangle as if folding a letter-size piece of paper.) Repeat procedure 2 more times, beginning with pressing into a 3/4-inch-thick dough rectangle (about 9 x 5 inches).
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Press or pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness of a lightly floured surface; cut with a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, and place side by side on a parchment lined or lightly greased jelly roll pan. (Biscuits should touch one another.)
- Bake at 450 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and brush with 2 Tablespoons melted butter.
