Directions
Golden Biscuits - Yeast Ingredients1. Mix yeast ingredients in a large bowl while you gather the rest of the ingredients. Let bloom for 30 minutes.
Golden Biscuits1. Whisk together all dry ingredients.
2. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and stir with hands to just combine, being careful not to overwork the dough. Cover dough and rest in warm area for 30-40 minutes to rise.
3. Place dough on floured surface, and knead to smooth. Roll out dough to -inch thick, and cut biscuits with biscuit cutter (we use a 2 inch on the truck). Place on buttered sheet pan nestled together and brush tops with butter. Allow to rest and rise for 15 minutes.
4. Bake at 425F for 8 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and brush immediately with butter. Serve with your favourite jam or sausage gravy.
Chocolate Gravy (Makes 1 quart)1. Heat heavy cream over medium-low heat to simmer. Add sugar, chocolate, and salt to the cream. Cook, stirring constantly for 8-10 minutes until chocolate melts and mixture has a gravy consistency.
Banana Jam (Makes 1 quart)1. Mix sugar and water in the bottom of a heavy-bottomed large saucepan. Heat sugar mixture on high heat. The water will need to evaporate before the sugar will caramelize.
2. Once the caramel reaches a deep brown, turn heat to low and pour in the bananas. Stir with a wooden or heat resistant spoon until the bananas begin to break down, about 10-15 minutes.
3. After the bananas are broken down, add salt, and remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and vanilla. Serve with warm biscuits. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
