Author:
Yields: 8-9
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch cubes + 2 tbsp, melted
  • 1-1/2 cups cold buttermilk
  • Sliced/carved turkey
  • Brie, sliced
  • Cranberry Sauce
  • ½ cup red onion, shaved/sliced thinly
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 500. Lightly grease a round, 9-inch cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda
  3. Scatter the butter pieces evenly over the dry ingredients and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork, until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  4. Add the buttermilk, and stir until everything is incorporated. (Dough will be wet, sticky and a little lumpy)
  5. Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop mounds of dough and drop them onto a floured surface. Continue until you’ve scooped all of the dough. You should get 8-9 mounds of dough.
  6. Flour your hands, then, one at a time, pick up each piece of dough (coating with extra flour if necessary so you can work with it) and gently shape it into a rough ball. Shake off the excess flour and place the ball of dough in the prepared cake pan. Repeat with the remaining mounds of dough, until the cake pan is filled.
  7. Gently brush the top of each biscuit with some of the melted butter (don’t press down and flatten them).
  8. Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 450 F.
  9. Bake biscuits at 450 F for 13-15 minutes.
  10. Pull pan of biscuits out of the oven, and allow to cool slightly.
  11. Slice a warm biscuit in half, and load up one half with slices of turkey, brie, and shaved onion. Slather cranberry sauce on the other half. Press the two halves together.
  12. Repeat with the rest of your biscuits.
  13. Enjoy, immediately!
Notes
If you make these ahead of time, stick them in the fridge covered with plastic wrap until you're ready to serve. When you want to eat them, preheat oven to 375 F and stick sliders into the oven on a baking sheet for 5-7 minutes to reheat.
