Copycat KFC Buttermilk Biscuits

Posted by: ChefTom in Categories: KFC, Recipes.

Serves: 6Buttermilk Biscuits
Ready In: Under 30 minutes

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tbs baking powder
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
6 Tbs lard

Directions:
Sift the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Cut in the lard with a pastry cutter or with two knives until a coarse texture is obtained.
Add buttermilk and knead gently but thoroughly.
The dough should be soft but not sticky: if it is, add a little more flour.
Knead for 1 minute, wrap in foil or wax paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Roll out the dough 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut with a biscuit cutter. (If you don’t have one, a cup with the desired diameter will work.)
Transfer biscuits to a dark baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.

Copycat Bennigan’s Broccoli Bites

Posted by: ChefTom in Categories: Bennigans, Recipes.

Serves: 4
Ready In: 1-2 hrs

Ingredients:
3 eggs
6 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
6 ounces shredded Colby cheese
1 (16 oz.) box frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, drained well
2 1/2 ounces bacon bits
1/2 ounce diced yellow onion
1 ounce all-purpose flour
Italian bread crumbs, as needed
Oil, for frying

Directions:
Drain thawed broccoli thoroughly.
Beat eggs in a mixing bowl with a whisk.
Place all the ingredients into a plastic container, except for the bread crumbs.
Stir together until thoroughly combined.
Refrigerate mixture for about 1 hour. This will help bind the mix.

Heat about 4 cups oil in a fryer or deep pan for frying at 350F.
Set up a shallow dish with bread crumbs.
Scoop about 1/2 ounce portion of the broccoli mixture into the bread crumbs. Form each portion into a ball and coat it well with the crumbs.
Place broccoli bites into the oil. Make sure they do not stick together.
Fry for about one minute, then remove and place onto a dish lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
Serve with Honey Mustard Dressing

Honey Mustard Dressing

3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice (I use slightly more)

In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise and mustard.
Blend thoroughly using a whisk.
Slowly pour in the honey and lemon juice, continue mixing until smooth and well combined.
