Ingredients for Barbecued Biscuit

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Butter
  • 3/4 cup sour milk (made by combining 1 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice with enough milk to make 3/4 cup)

How to Make Barbecued Biscuit

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter or margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk to reach 3/4 cup total.
  5. Add the sour milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened (don't overmix!).
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times.
  7. Flatten the dough into a 3/4-inch thick disc.
  8. Place the dough on a single sheet of greased heavy-duty aluminum foil. Do not enclose the foil.
  9. Place the foil-covered dough on one side of the preheated grill. Turn the burner under the foil OFF, and reduce the opposite burner to medium heat.
  10. Close the grill lid and cook for 15-18 minutes, rotating the foil halfway through, until the biscuits are lightly golden brown.
  11. Remove from grill and let cool slightly before cutting into 8 wedges.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
