Two Ingredients Make Stuffed Ham Egg and Cheese Biscuits Easy
Homemade stuffed breakfast biscuits are a weekend favorite at our house. As you can imagine, you can fill them with a plethora of egg, protein and cheese combinations but, it seems the most simple combos remain the most requested. Cream drop biscuits require only 2 ingredients and couldn't be easier to make. There is nothing that compares to a homemade biscuit. Quite often I have people contact me saying they've tried to make homemade biscuits with no success asking what could they be doing wrong? The truth is, there are many variables when it comes to bread making. Factors include quality of ingredients, the amount of moisture in the air and how your oven performs. It takes practice in all sincerity, so don't give up you can master cream biscuits.
Tips for Biscuit Making Success
- Keep in mind that fresh dough is sticky by nature. That said, it's important to flour the rolling pin, biscuit cutter and rolling surface lightly to prevent sticking.
- For these biscuits, I cut them into 5-inch rounds as that's the largest cookie cutter that I had handy. Then gently rolled each round with the rolling pin until they're around 6 inches so their sizeable for stuffing.
- After filling and sealing the biscuit dough, use your hands to shape them into even sized rounds, and place seam side down in the buttered skillet.
- When you bake biscuits side by side in the skillet in this way, the tops become golden and crispy and the inside stays fluffy and light.
- These biscuits reheat nicely, making them perfect for weekend brunch or any day you want to serve breakfast with a surprise inside.
