Salami and Scallion Biscuits

"From the New York Times. Author Melissa Clark says these can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered with plastic, and baked while the turkey rests. I generally do not use kosher salt in baked goods, so I would probably use 1/2 tsp table salt."

  1. The aroma from the baking biscuits was fantastic! However, I did find the dough to be extremely dry and had to add at least a 1/2-cup of additional cream to get the dough to the right consistency. Even so, I still found the biscuits a tad dry after baking. The flavor combination of the soppressata and the scallion was so wonderful, though, that I would love to keep fiddling with this to see how to get the perfect, moist biscuit. Thanks for sharing this lovely treat.
     
  2. The smell of this biscuits while baking was fantastic. While mixing the dough I thought it was a little dry, I would have added a little more cream, but...the first time I try to follow the recipe...For me, they came out dry. For DH, they were perfect, fantastic, delicious. I will try to make them one more time and add extra cream to see the difference. I have never baked with salami before...it's good!

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
