When I posted the Whistler Style Tomato soup a week or two ago, I had a number of requests for the recipe of the biscuit pictured with it. It is just a fancied up version of biscuits but for those who asked, here it is:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup cold butter or margarine
- 3/4 cup milk
- Filling:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (if desired)
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese or 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- Place flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Cut in butter.
- Make a well and add milk.
- Mix lightly with a fork until dough begins to form.
- Knead lightly no more than 12 times.
- Roll out to a rectangle approximately 14 inches by 7 inches.
- Spread soft butter and mayonnaise over dough, leaving 1/2 inch along the long edge farthest from you.
- Sprinkle with Basil and garlic powder and cover with Parmesan or grated Cheddar
- Roll up (from the edge closest to you) like you would for cinnamon buns, pinching the long edge closed.
- Slice into 1/2 inch slices and place on cookie sheet, placing biscuits quite close together.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 12- 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from pan and serve hot.
Note: The biscuit in the top picture is made with Parmesan cheese and the photos below show the Cheddar cheese version.
