The Cajuns, always looking for variation in recipes, certainly created a
Winner here. Adding the hog cracklin' to the biscuit mixture created a
Unique breakfast item. If you don't have cracklin's, you may wish to
Substitute salted pork skins.
Ingredients:
4 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup unsalted butter
2 TBS. Baking powder
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 tsp. Baking soda
3/4 cup chopped hog cracklin's
1 1/2 TBS. Sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp. Salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking
Powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Mix well to ensure proper blending.
Using a pastry blender, cut 2/3 cup of butter into flour mixture. Once
Butter has been well blended into flour, add buttermilk and chopped
Cracklin's'. Continue to mix until biscuit dough is well formed. Place dough
On a floured board and knead lightly. Roll dough out until approximately
3/4-inch thick. Cut biscuits with a 3-inch biscuit cutter until all are
Formed. Place biscuits in a greased 12-inch Lodge cast iron skillet and
Drizzle with remaining melted butter. Bake until golden brown, approximately
25 minutes.
