BUNNY BISCUITS WITH HAM
Prep: 20 min Bake: 12 min Cost per
Serving: 50 cents
These flaky "bunnies" can be served
without the fixin's too. Planning Tip: Can be made up to 1
day ahead.
1. Heat oven to 450 F. Have a
baking sheet ready. 2. To make dough in food processor:
Process flour, baking powder and baking soda to mix. Add
butter and shortening. Process on/off until coarse crumbs
form. With motor running, add buttermilk. Process just until
dough leaves sides of bowl. By hand: In a medium-size bowl,
mix flour, baking powder and baking soda until blended. Cut
in butter and shortening with pastry blender, or work it in
with fingertips until lumps are no larger than small peas.
Stir in buttermilk with a fork until mixture clumps
together. Press dough into a ball. 3. On a lightly floured
surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into
a 10x6-inch rectangle. With long edge facing you, fold in
both short ends so they meet in center (see Cooking Lesson,
below). Fold dough in half (as if you were closing a book)
forming a packet 4 layers thick. Again roll dough into a
10x6-inch rectangle. 4. With a floured 2 1/2-inch
bunny-shaped cutter (or other simple 2 1/2-inch cutter), cut
dough in one downward motion. Place biscuits 1 1/2 inches
apart on ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with melted
butter. Gently press scraps together, reroll and cut more
biscuits. 5. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until biscuits are
lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack. While still warm,
split biscuits with a sharp knife. Let cool, then store
airtight up to 1 day. 6. To assemble: Spread cut sides of
each biscuit with Mustard-Maple Butter. Fill each biscuit
with a piece of ham and some watercress.
Exchanges: 1 3/4 starch/bread, 2/3
lean meat, 4 1/4 fat
MUSTARD-MAPLE BUTTER With a whisk
or fork, beat 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter or margarine, at
room temperature, 1/4 cup grainy mustard and 1 tablespoon
maple-flavored pancake syrup until well blended. Refrigerate
up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature to use.
COOKING LESSON: Biscuit Dough These
biscuits are extra flaky because the unusual folding and
rolling process layers the butter throughout the
dough.
1. After you've rolled the dough
into a 10x6-inch rectangle, fold over the shorter (6-inch)
sides until they just touch in the middle. 2. Then fold
dough over again, in half, as shown. Use the lightest touch
possible when rolling and folding the dough. If overworked,
the biscuits will turn out tough and chewy. 3. Roll the
dough to 10x6 inches again. Dip cutter in flour and cut
biscuits. Biscuits from the first cutting rise more evenly,
so cut close together and get as many as you can. Place on
ungreased baking sheet. Gather together scraps, lightly
reroll and cut. (Bake remaining scraps as they are; kids
love them with jam for a snack.)

NOTES : I found this recipe for
Jerk rub in Woman's Day, but I usually use a prepared Jerk
Marinade that I get at the grocery store called Island Pit
Hot Barbecue Jerk Marinade. I have a good friend at Church
who is Jamaican . Note she is the mother of 4 which includes
5 year old twin boys. She just finished getting her law
degree at Stetson and is studying to take the Bar. Jamaican
culture is fascinating and I love the hot spicy food.
Jamaica is not the Bob Marley image that most Americans
have. It is mostly Protestant and the largest denominations
down there are Baptist and Church of God. Jamaican culture
is a mixture of Chinese, African and Indian. Jerk sauce
comes from the Islands of Jamaica. It was developed by the
Arawak Indians. It was a method of preserving meats using
ocean salt, Scotch Bonnet Peppers, and the fruit of the
pimiento tree. In modern Jamaica, Jerk sauce is the method
of barbecuing and everyone has their own recipe.

Drain all but 2 tablespoons grease from skillet and add
chopped onion and celery. Sauté until soft and
translucent. Add the cooked sausage back to the pan along
