graham cracker biscuits
slightly sweet biscuits or scones with subtle layers of crushed graham crackers, the perfect base for berrys and whipped cream or lemon curd!
Ingredients
- 2 cups AP flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar plus a little more for sprinkling
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pie spice or cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 4 Tablespoon cold unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy or whipping cream
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine the flour with the sugar, spice, and baking powder, stir to combine
- cut the butter into about eight pieces and cut into the flour, you can do this in a food processor, with a pastry cutter, or by hand. IF the weather isn’t too hot I like to use my hands. alternately you can freeze the butter and grate it with large holed cheese grater and simply toss the frozen bits into the flour mixture
- combine the heavy cream and milk and slowly add to the flour mixture, add 2 tablespoons of the graham crackers and stir in with a fork until just combined, the mixture will be extremely shaggy with bits of dry flour, that’s okay
- dump out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll out into a 6-8 “ square and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs over the top and then use the fold and roll method to “knead” the dough – basically folding the dough in half or thirds and rolling it out two or three times until it’s cohesive but not totally smooth.
- using a well floured biscuit cutter cut out the biscuits and place on your baking sheet or in your cast iron pan (a 10 1/2 inch cast iron is perfect)
- place in the freezer and turn on the oven to 450F
- when the oven is hot take the biscuits out of the freezer brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle some more graham cracker crumbs and a pinch of sugar on them, drizzle any remaining butter over the top
- bake until golden on the bottoms and just browned on the tops about 12 minutes
