Lumberjack Biscuits
As we roll into holiday season with all the baking and get togethers and functions – you might be looking for something different to bring to the table. These Lumberjack Biscuits are going to be the talk of every event you bring a batch to. Honestly – make sure you bring printed copies of the recipe or have the link ready to send over – because they are incredible!
These biscuits get their name from the idea that they are an all-in-one breakfast. You have your meat, cheese and fruit all in one handheld biscuit. Which means you can keep working and moving while you get your morning meal in – like many lumberjacks like to do.
Substitutes and Variations:
I have included the full recipe to make these from scratch. If you want to speed things up or just make it a little easier – you can simply add the green apples, cheddar cheese and sausage to a box mix like Bisquik. Use the drop biscuit recipe on the box and just cook them slightly longer to compensate for the extra moisture. If you want to add a kick – you can use pepper jack cheese or fold in some jalapeños.
Suggestions for Sides:
These are really great on their own as by nature they have all the goods included. I will say the kids really loved drizzling them with some maple syrup. You can also make a quick vanilla syrup – 1 cup each brown sugar, white sugar, and water over medium heat. Stir constantly until melted then add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and oen tablespoon butter. Stir until melted and then remove from heat.
Tools that may make this recipe easier:
You will want a #8 scoop to make all the biscuits the same size. A stand mixer with a paddle attachment will make a quick work of this recipe as well.
