Oyster Biscuits Recipes

GRILLED OYSTERS AND BISCUITS

Steps:

• To make biscuits: preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
• Grease baking sheets.
• In a large bowl sift together first 5 ingredients (flour - baking soda). Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk until dough comes together.
• Turn dough out onto floured board and knead for about 10 times, adding more flour if dough becomes sticky.
• Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/16 inch and cut 16 rounds using a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
• Transfer to prepared sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
• To make relish: In a skillet over medium heat fry bacon until crisp; remove and drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of grease.
• Stir water into skillet and then add tomatoes, bell peppers and garlic, simmering for 15 - 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft and mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Crumble in bacon. Set aside.
• Preheat broiler.
• Arrange oysters on broiler pan, brushing with oil and lemon juice.
• Broil for 3-5 minutes or until edges begin to curl, turning once. BE CAREFUL - DO NOT OVERCOOK!
• To assemble sandwiches: split biscuits. Spread both cut sides with relish. Top one half with oyster and cover with second half.
