BBQ Cooker 027

When I drove home from work today, I really had no great ambitions beyond "That spicy biscuit recipe I found was really good when I made a test batch. I think I'll make chili and biscuits for dinner."

Imagine my surprise to find Dave Wyatt's van in my driveway, and the cooker sections I'd disassembled and burned the oil out of over the last couple of weekends re-assembled, and in fact mounted into near final assembly.

"Well, my last job for the day put me in the neighborhood, so I decided to come over and...."

Y'get the vauge impression Dave really wants me to get this thing going. :>

Spicy biscuits?? Did you mention those before? Because that sounds AWESOME and I need the recipe.

I don't believe I did. :D

Biscuit version:

Dry:

2 c. Flour
1 tbsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. coarse sea salt (kosher salt seems to work just fine, too)
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. cayenne pepper (chili powder also works)

Wet:
1/3 c. olive oil
2 c. milk

Mix and knead batter, cut into 3/4" thick rounds and bake on a greased cookie sheet at 425 for 10-15 minutes.

ALTERNATIVE MUFFIN VERSION (because I have an easier time making muffin batter than biscuit batter)

Dry:

2.5 c. Flour
1 tbsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. coarse sea salt (kosher salt seems to work just fine, too)
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. cayenne pepper (chili powder also works)
1 tsp. black pepper

Wet:
1/3 c. olive oil
2 c. milk

Mix and pour into a well greased muffin tin. Bake at 425 for 25 minutes.

Serve with chili, stew, or anything else that leaves tasty tasty drippings.
