Sriracha Turkey and Cheese Breakfast Biscuits


Quarantine cooking creativity? 

It comes and goes. I've been trying to make "special" breakfast on Sundays, but I had run out of ideas. In search for something new, I came upon a few interesting recipes, but didn't like any one specifically, so I combined them  to create this savory and satisfying entree. 

Butter, biscuits, cheese, meat, and heat, this breakfast has it all!

Ingredients:
1/2 t salt
4 T cold butter, diced
1/6 c powdered milk
1 t apple cider vinegar
2/3 c water

8 slices turkey meat
1 c grated cheese
Sriracha to taste

(Biscuit recipe adapted from King Arthur Flour. Sandwiches inspired by a recipe from Budget Bytes.)

Instructions:
1. Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
2. Cut cold, diced butter into mixture until it forms clumps the size of peas.
3. Mix powdered milk, vinegar, and water in a separate cup. Stir into flour and butter mixture.
4. Turn out on a floured surface and fold over until all ingredients are incorporated. Add water or flour a tablespoon at a time, if needed, to get to the right consistency.
5. Roll dough into a rectangle shape 1/2 inch thick.
6. Use a sharp knife to cut in 12-16 squares.
7. Lay half the squares face down on an ungreased baking pan.
8. Top each square with one piece of turkey meat, 2 tablespoons of grated cheese, and a squirt of sriracha.
9. Fold turkey meat over to encase the cheese. (Try to flatten each mound of cheese as much as possible to avoid seepage, some of which will happen.)
10. Add the remaining biscuit squares on top, pressing gently, to form sandwiches.
11. Bake 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove pan from oven.
12. Use a thin-edged spatula to push melted cheese back into sandwiches and serve.
