The Jiminick Biscuit
My best re-creation of the Jim 'n Nick's BBQ starter biscuit. My Alabama visits were blessed with these dough nuggets, and I hope your kitchens get the same treatment.
Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Flour All Purpose
- 3/4 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
- 2/3 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- 3/4 Cup Buttermilk
- 1 Egg Lightly beaten
- 1/4 Tsp Vanilla extract Don't cheap out! Get the good stuff
- 4 Tbsp Butter melted
- 1.25 Cups Shredded Cheddar Grate it, don't buy pre packed!
Instructions
- Fire up your pellet smoker (or oven) to 400 degrees. Give that mini muffin a healthy spray of cooking spray.
- Bowl 1 (Dry's): Combine your flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- Bowl 2 (Wet's): Crack the egg and lightly beat. Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract until the egg is smooth.
- Combine bowl 2 with bowl 1 and add the melted butter. Stir until well combined. Add in that grated/shredded cheese until that beautiful dough is all together.
- Take a spoon and scoop into that greased muffin tin. Put less than you think - these things balloon up pretty healthily. Put in your smoker/oven for about 10 minutes - but keep an eye on them after 5.
- Eat while warm! If there's any left to save, definitely pop it in the microwave - they're so good with a little heat.
