Cultural Context

The Giant BN Biscuit is a beloved staple in Southern American cuisine, often enjoyed as a breakfast treat or side dish. These biscuits are known for their fluffy texture and buttery flavor, making them perfect for slathering with jam or honey. While traditional biscuits are typically smaller and served individually, this oversized version is great for sharing at family gatherings or weekend brunches. Variations abound, with some adding cheese or herbs for extra flavor, showcasing the versatility of this classic dish.

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Gather your ingredients: plain flour, castor sugar, salted butter, cream, vanilla extract, an egg, and milk chocolate.

2

Cut the butter into cubes to make it easier to mix with the flour and sugar.

3

Use a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour and sugar until it resembles a bread-crummy texture.

4

Add the cream and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir with a spatula until it starts to come together.

5

If the dough is too dry, add more flour. Use your hands to form it into a large cookie dough ball.

6

Wrap the dough ball in cling film and flatten it to increase surface area for chilling.

7

Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.

8

Decide to double the ingredients to ensure the dough is thick enough for the giant biscuit.

9

Prepare the ganache by chopping or grating milk chocolate into small pieces.

10

Heat cream in a saucepan over low heat until it starts to steam, then add the chocolate and stir until smooth and glossy.

11

Let the ganache cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it to firm up.

12

Flour your work surface and baking sheets to prevent sticking.

13

Roll out the chilled dough to fit the baking tray, ensuring it is thin and even.

14

Cut off the edges to shape the dough appropriately.
