Johnny Cake Biscuits, Coconut Jimmy Butter
Makes 20 biscuits
Biscuits
Ingredients:
26 oz Flour
1 oz Baking Powder
5 oz White Sugar
2 tsp Salt
12 oz Frozen Butter
15 oz Cold Heavy Cream
2 large Chilled Eggs
Method of Preparation
Combine all the dry ingredients separately and mix well for at least 60 seconds with a whisk. Using a box grater grate the butter and return to the freezer. Combine the wet ingredients. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and massage it into the mix. Then add the wet and combine. Your dough should be wet and sticky. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hrs.
After 2 hours the dough will be firm. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough out bout 1/3 the thickness. Then fold the dough from each corner onto itself. Repeat these 2 more times, resting the dough for 10 minutes each time. Finally return the dough to the refrigerator and chill overnight for the best results.
To bake preheat your oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to about 2 inches. Then using a ring cutter cut out your biscuits. If using a knife cut into equal squares. I prefer squares. Brush with a little egg wash (1 egg and ½ cup water) and bake for about 12 minutes or until golden on top and bottom.
