ingredients
For the biscuits:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, grated on a large tooth cheese grater and frozen until ready to use
- 1 cups heavy cream, divided, plus more for brushing
ingredients
For the tomatoes:
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1/2 cup corn flour (fine cornmeal)
- 2 large green tomatoes, sliced into 8-1/4 inch rounds (4 slices per tomato)
- Neutral oil, for frying
Method
To make the biscuits:
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 400°F. Prep and unlined baking sheet. Note: You'll want to bake these directly on the metal so they get nice and crispy on the bottom.
Step 2
In a large bowl, add the all-purpose and cake flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Note: You can also place the dry ingredients in the freezer until ready to use.
Step 3
Scatter frozen butter over dry mixture. Working quickly, use your hands to cut the butter into the flour, rubbing between your finger tips to create flakes. Some larger chunks of butter should remain and the flour should begin to take on the color of butter. Note: I prefer this method over a pastry blender or two knifes because you can control the texture.
Step 4
Create a well in the center of the bowl. Add in 1 cup of the heavy cream. Gently toss together (I use a bowl scrapper for this step-but hands work well too, just be gentle) until the dough has some shaggy moistened clumps.
Step 5
Create another well, and repeat the process again. This time once the dough looks shaggy and still somewhat dry, pull up any dried bits from the bottom and with the palm of your hand gently press down. Continue doing so until you have a shaggy mount of dough.
Step 6
Dump out dough to a lightly floured surface. Using a bench scraper or your hands pat the dough together into a 6x12 rectangle. Note: You'll have to really manipulate the dough at this point. So even hitting it a bit with the rolling pin or pushing together firmly is ok here.
Step 7
Fold the dough in half, and roll into another 6x12 inch rectangle. Repeat the process two more times. Note: At this point the dough should be holding together.
Step 8
Once folding process is complete, roll it into a 6x12 rectangle with about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in height.
Step 9
Cut off all the ends to expose the layers, and make sharp edges for the rectangle. Note: Scraps can be saved or discarded.
Step 10
Cut rectangle into 8 even biscuits by cutting the dough in half lengthwise and then 4 across. Biscuits should be about 3x3 inches each.
Step 11
Note: You can chill the biscuit dough overnight at this point or bake immediately. I prefer to chill so the butter has time to firm back up. Evenly place biscuits on the unlined tray. Brush tops evenly with heavy cream. Place into the center of the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes reduce oven temperature to 350°F, rotate, and bake another 10 minutes.
Step 12
Remove from oven. While the biscuits are cooling, fry the tomatoes.
To fry the tomatoes:
Step 1
Place a cooling rack over a baking tray. Prep 3 shallow pie plates for dredging.
Step 2
In the first plate whisk to combine 1/3 cup of flour, salt, paprika, cayenne.
Step 3
In the second pie plate whisk to combine the buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce.
Step 4
In the third pie plate whisk to combine cornmeal and remaining 1/3 cup of flour.
Step 5
Begin by dipping both sides of the tomatoes in the first dry mixture, followed by the buttermilk mixture, and lastly the cornmeal mixture (dry, wet, dry). Place each coated slice on the prepared rack. Repeat this process until all 8 slices are coated. Let rest until oil is heated and ready to fry.
Step 6
In a shallow fry pan, add oil filling about 1/4 inch high.
Step 7
Once oil is shimmering, add tomato slices and fry for 2 minutes per side. Note: Depending on you pan size be careful to not over crowd the pan.
Step 8
Remove fried tomatoes from oil and place back on rack. Sprinkle tops with finishing salt. Continue process until all tomatoes are fried.
