4-Pepper Deviled Eggs
10 min
Level: Easy
Yield: 12 deviled eggs
Ingredients
6 hard boiled eggs, cooled and peeled
1 teaspoon whole pink peppercorns, divided
1/2 teaspoon whole white peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole green peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon caper liquid
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch sugar
Directions
Slice the eggs in half from top to bottom. Scoop the yolks into a
medium mixing bowl and lay the whites aside. Place all of the
peppercorns, except 1/2 teaspoon of the pink peppercorns, into a spice
grinder and process until ground well. Add the ground peppers, caper
liquid, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and sugar to the egg yolks and using
a fork, stir to thoroughly combine. Place the mixture into a zip-top
plastic bag and cut a small hole at one of the corners. Pipe the
mixture into each of the white halves. Coarsely grind the remaining 1/2
teaspoon of pink peppercorns and use to garnish the top of each egg.
Chill for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.
Southern Biscuits
Cook Time:15 min
Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup chilled buttermilk
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and
salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry
ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better,
you don't want the fats to melt.)
Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just
until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.
Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold
dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut
out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down
through the dough. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just
touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and
continue cutting. (Biscuits from the second pass will not be quite as
light as those from the first, but hey, that's life.)
Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
Cook Time:30 min
Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
1 (3 1/2 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 cups buttermilk
Salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Toss the chicken, buttermilk and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Cover and
refrigerate, 1 hour.
Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high
heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360.
Mix the flour, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the garlic powder in a
shallow bowl. Remove the dark meat from the buttermilk, shake off the
excess and roll in the flour mixture. Shake off the excess flour, place
in the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and
cooked through, about 15 minutes (adjust the heat as needed). Drain on
paper towels.
Reheat the oil to 360 degrees F. Repeat with the chicken breasts and
wings, frying for about 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
