Ingredients for Black-Eyed Pea Biscuits:
- 1 cup cooked Colorado black-eyed peas
- 2 cups flour, plus more for rolling out the biscuits
- 3 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
- ½ cup cold shortening
- 1 cup very cold whole milk
Instructions for Black-Eyed Pea Biscuits:
- Place black-eyed peas into your food processor.
- Add in the flour.
- Next, sprinkle in the salt and baking powder.
- Add in the shortening, one tablespoon at a time.
- Pulse the ingredients together until the shortening mixes in with the dry ingredients, creating a crumb texture.
- While the food processor is on, slowly drizzle in the milk through the top, a little at a time, until the ingredients just come together. You might not use all the milk and you don’t want to overmix the dough.
- Gently roll out the dough on a floured surface until one inch in thickness.
- Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut out biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Top with egg wash or butter and a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 – 20 minutes until biscuits are cooked and golden brown.
