Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 cup butter flavor shortening
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup diced pepperoni
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt, and dry mustard. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Cut in Shortening: Add the butter flavor shortening to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add Pepperoni: Gently fold in the diced pepperoni until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Incorporate Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the bowl, stirring until the mixture comes together to form a slightly sticky dough. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it a few times until it comes together and becomes smooth.
-
Roll and Cut: Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuit rounds.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion during baking.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm alongside a bowl of hot cheddar cheese soup for a delightful and comforting meal.
-
Delightful: These pepperoni biscuits are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Enjoy the delicious combination of savory pepperoni and flaky biscuit goodness. Perfect for brunch, a snack, or any time you crave a tasty treat!
