Cheese Date BiscuitsThese are a hit every year at
our Thanksgiving table. The recipe comes from Frances Stitt of the Highlands Bar &
Grill and Bodega in Birmingham, Alabama.
I N G R
E D I E N T S
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room
temperature
1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 2 cups packed)
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
1 8 ounce package of pitted whole dates
I N S T R U C T I O N S
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (see make
ahead note)
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and cheese in a bowl until it is well blended.
Mix in flour, cayenne and salt. Add the milk; stir until a stiff dough forms.
Wrap 1 level tablespoon of dough around each date, completely encasing the date and
forming a cylinder. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake biscuits until light golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
