SMOKED GOUDA BISCUITS The Culinary Outpost with Tricia Bear Jan 5 2025

Smoked Gouda Biscuits

Ingredients
Bread flour sifted 10 ounces
Pastry flour sifted 10 ounces
(You can use all-purpose flour 5 ounces and cake flour
5 ounces if you don’t have pastry flour).
Salt .375 ounce
Sugar 1 ounce
Baking powder 1.25 ounce
Smoked Gouda cheese or shredded cheddar cheese 6 ounces
Butter or shortening (regular)…cool 7 ounces
Milk 13 ounces
Cooking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray sheet pan
with cooking spray.
2. Scale all ingredients accurately.
3. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl using the paddle attachment.
4. Be sure to add the cheese to the dry ingredients.
5. Then cut in the butter or shortening, using the
paddle attachment or the pastry knife attachment;
The butter or shortening pieces should be about the size
of a pea. If you prefer, cut in the fat (butter or shortening)
by hand using a pastry blender or your fingers.
continue until the mixture resembles a coarse
cornmeal.
6. Add the milk to the dry ingredients. Mix just until
the ingredients are combined and a soft dough is formed.
Do not over-mix or the biscuits will be tough.
7. Bring the dough to the table and place it on a floured
baking mat. Knead it lightly by pressing it out and folding
it in half. Rotate the dough 90 degrees between folds.
8. Repeat this procedure 6 to 10 times, or about 30 seconds.
The dough should be soft and slightly elastic but not sticky.
Over-kneading toughens the biscuits. The dough is now ready
to be made up and cut into shapes.
Make-up of biscuits
Follow these steps to produce biscuits from the biscuit dough.
1. Roll out the biscuit dough into a sheet about ½ inch thick
being careful to roll it evenly and to an uniform thickness.
Biscuits approximately double in height during baking.
2. Then cut into desired shapes. You can use the top of a glass
or metal rings to cut the biscuits into the desired shapes.
When using a round hand cutter, cut straight down. Do not
twist the cutter. Space the cuts as closely as possible, to minimize
scraps. Reworked scrap dough produces tougher biscuits. Cutting the
biscuits into squares or triangles with a pastry cutter knife
eliminates scraps that would have to be re-rolled. Roller cutters
also eliminate or reduce scraps. If cutting with a knife, cut straight
down without dragging the knife.
3. Place the biscuits ½ inch apart on greased or paper lined baking
sheets. For straighter sides, place the biscuits upside down.
For softer biscuits without crusty sides, arrange the biscuits
so they touch each other; these must be broken apart after baking.
4. If desired, brush the tops with egg wash or milk to aid browning. Egg
wash is an egg mixed with a whisk.
5. Bake biscuits as soon as possible at 400 degrees farenheit for about 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Use a pastry brush to brush the butter or honey butter on top of the biscuits after the biscuits have been baked.
