These rich, savory biscuits are even better than the traditional ham and cheese variety. Bits of chopped salami and scallions are scattered throughout tender dough that's been enriched with heavy cream. Did we mention that they come together – start to finish – in about 45 minutes? They'll be gone in about five.

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into dry ingredients. Add soppressata and scallions and combine gently. Add cream and mix, preferably with your hands, until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 turns, just until dough comes together. If dough is dry and crumbly, add more cream as needed. Gently pat dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 6 to 8 biscuits. Press scraps together and cut out another 2 to 4 biscuits.
Step 3
Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet and brush generously with softened butter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until biscuits are lightly browned.

I used a hard chorizo in place of the soppresatta and served them with a jalapeño cream gravy. Delicious!

I used hard salami instead of the soppressants and loved the result. I thought the suppressants would be too fatty. Delightful savory surprise instead of sweet rolls at breakfast.

Homesick Texan has a good one:

Good. Made with prosciutto, sweet red pepper, and one jalapeño. Try buttermilk next time. One cup whipping cream is a lot of fat.

Made this with salami and green onions as well as another batch with cooked bacon and green onions. First batch I tried with whole wheat flour and it was delicious, second batch with AP flour. It’s an awesome recipe, I can make it the night before, remove from fridge, bring up to warm temp and throw in the oven.

Tasty! I made this following the recipe except 1) I used Chinese sausage and some leek, because that’s what I had; and 2) instead of rolling flat and cutting out biscuits, I hand-rolled 6 large biscuits and 4 small ones. It was great! I’m planning on rolling little balls the next time.
