Biscuits, even delicious Tender Biscuits like these, are not part of my usual repertoire. Obviously they are good any time of day, but I usually lump them into the “breakfast pastries” category, and that’s a grouping of baked goods that I really don’t get up early enough to make. The exception, of course, is for TWD.

These are straightforward, basic biscuits (no potato flakes or cottage cheese necessary) made with yogurt and buttermilk. I did half a recipe and cut two larger square biscuits for sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches. A blob of extra/scrap dough was used to pre-form a few mini sausage pigs in a blanket…tucked into the freezer for now, I plan to bake them for football snacks in a couple of weeks. I’m sort of an average biscuit and scone maker (not enough practice), but these rose nicely and came out well. I sprinkled a little flaky salt on my sandwich biscuits, and I must say the salty, golden craggly bits on top were so good.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

You may think you’re an average biscuit maker. However, you get extra credits for being a very resourceful baker in putting the leftover dough to good use.

Breakfast sandwiches sound yummy. We don’t make biscuits often either but it is fun with this group.

They look lovely, and I bet make delicious sandwiches. I love making biscuits, and try to keep some in the freezer for on-demand baking.
