Starfish Biscuit Sandwiches Recipes

STARFISH BISCUIT SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment. In large bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
• Make a well in center of flour mixture; pour in milk. Mix, using a fork, until dough just comes together. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; press to form a 6- to 7-inch-diameter circle.
• Roll out the dough 1/3-inch thick. Cut out with 3 1/2-inch star-shape cookie cutter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with milk, and sprinkle with cornmeal. Bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
• Cut cheese into star shapes. Cut each biscuit in half crosswise. Spread one half with mayonnaise; top with a cheese star. Cover with the other half, and serve.

CHEDDAR BISCUIT BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and snap and rub it in until the butter is pea sized. Stir in the Cheddar and chives, then make a well in the center and add in 1 1/4 cups of the buttermilk. Stir until just combined.
• Using a large tablespoon or a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, scoop 9 biscuits onto your prepared baking sheet. Place the biscuits in the fridge while you prepare the eggs.
• For the eggs: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sausage meat. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
• Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Beat the eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Season with the salt and pepper. Add the Cheddar and dill and pour into the prepared pan. Scatter over the cooked sausage and tomatoes.
• Retrieve the biscuits from the fridge and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of buttermilk. Bake the biscuits and the eggs for 15 minutes, then remove the eggs from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Rotate the biscuits and continue baking until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cut the eggs into 9 equal pieces. If serving right away, split the biscuits in half and sandwich in the eggs. If prepping ahead, transfer the eggs to a resealable container and place in the fridge. Cool the biscuits to room temperature and transfer to a resealable container or zip top bag and place in the fridge. Both can be stored for up to four days. To reheat, simply reheat in the microwave. Biscuits can also be split and lightly toasted in the toaster.

FRIED CHICKEN BISCUIT SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Whisk the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, the garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cornflakes, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow baking dish. Combine the honey and the remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
• Heat 1/2 inch of peanut oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, remove the chicken cutlets from the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off, then press into the cereal mixture on both sides. Working in batches, fry the chicken until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack set over a baking sheet and season with salt.
• Brush the cut sides of the biscuits with the mayonnaise; sandwich with the fried chicken, lettuce, pickles and a drizzle of the spicy honey.

BISCUIT BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the biscuits: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter a small baking sheet. (Keep the cubed butter cold.)
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and toss to coat, then cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or rub and pinch it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse sand with no bits larger than the size of gravel.
• Add the milk all at once and quickly stir with a fork until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Use the fork to scoop and drop 4 even mounds of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing apart. Gently pat the tops and sides to form round pucks; it's OK if the tops are a little craggy.
• Bake until golden brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool on the pan on a rack while preparing the fillings.
• Make the fillings: Beat the eggs in a medium bowl until well mixed but not frothy. Season very generously with salt and pepper and beat again. Heat a medium nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter, turn the heat to low and swirl the butter to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. When the butter has melted about halfway, add the eggs all at once. Cook, stirring gently, until mostly set but still a little wet, 1 to 2 minutes, then spread in an even layer.
• Once the bottom and edges are fully set, turn off the heat and cut the egg pancake in quarters using the spatula. Set a slice of cheese over each quarter. Slice each of the biscuits in half and spread jam on both halves. If you want bacon, sausage or ham, place them over the bottom halves. Slide the cheesy egg quarters over the bottom halves (or meat) and fold over any corners that stick out. Sandwich with the top halves and serve warm.
