The name of these little biscuits is pretty self explanatory, and who doesn't like biscuits and pork fat? This recipe can easily be halved if 6 dozen biscuits is too much. I haven't tried freezing them yet but I'm sure them would be fine.
Ingredients:
1 lb cracklings, ground
6 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 eggs
1/4 pint sour cream
1/2 cup your favorite wine (i use chardonnay)
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup cream
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. In large bowl mix together cracklings, flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and wine.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the egg mixture into it.
5. Gradually combined the two mixtures.
6. On a flour surface roll dough to 3/4 inch thickness and cut with a 2 1/2-3 inch cookie cutter.
7. Place biscuit rounds on a greased cookie sheet.
8. In a small bowl whisk together the egg yolk and cream.
9. Brush the tops of biscuits with cream mixture.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
