Fig and Pecan Breakfast
So saddle up, partner! We’re about to embark on a biscuit-making adventure that’ll have you feeling like a true Southern belle (or beau)! ππΎ
Ingredients
(makes about 12 biscuits, or enough to feed a small rodeo)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour πΎ
- 1 tablespoon baking powder π§
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda π§ͺ
- 1 teaspoon salt π§
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed π§
- 3/4 cup buttermilk π₯
- 1/2 cup dried figs, finely chopped π
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped π₯
- 2 tablespoons honey π―
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract π§ͺ
- Extra buttermilk for brushing ποΈ
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling β¨
π₯ Instructions
(easier than falling off a log, I promise!):
- First things first, crank that oven up to 425Β°F (220Β°C). We want it hotter than a Texas summer! π₯βοΈ
- In a big ol’ bowl, mix your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. It’s like making a sandcastle, but way more delicious! ποΈπ°
- Now, grab that cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers if you’re feeling fancy. We’re going for a crumbly texture, like little pebbles on a country road. π£οΈπͺ¨
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, honey, and vanilla. It’s like a flavor potion that’ll make everything magical! π§ββοΈβ¨
- Pour this liquid gold into your flour mixture and stir gently. Don’t go crazy here β we’re making biscuits, not bread! π₯β
- Fold in those chopped figs and pecans. It’s like adding jewels to your biscuit crown! ππ
- Dump your dough onto a floured surface and pat it out to about 1-inch thickness. No rolling pin needed β we’re keeping it rustic, y’all! πΏπ³
- Use a biscuit cutter (or a glass if you’re in a pinch) to cut out your biscuits. Remember, straight down and up β no twisting! We want these babies to rise higher than your grandma’s beehive hairdo! ππββοΈ
- Place your biscuits on a baking sheet, making sure they’re cuddled up close. They’re not claustrophobic, I promise! π€ποΈ
- Brush the tops with a little buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar. It’s like adding a disco ball to your biscuit party! πΊπͺ©
- Pop ’em in the oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and smell so good you can’t stand it anymore! ππ
π½οΈ Time to Dig In, Y’all!
Grab a biscuit (or three) and prepare for a taste explosion! π₯π These babies are flakier than your ex’s promises, with a perfect balance of sweet figs, crunchy pecans, and buttery goodness. Each bite is like a warm Southern hug for your mouth! π€π
