Black Pepper Rings (biscuits)
Ingredients
12 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup vegetable oil
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
3 tablespoons baking powder
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Preheat oven
to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
In a large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in melted butter and oil. In a separate
bowl, mix together flour, salt, pepper and baking powder.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg
mixture. Mix until dough pulls together. Turn dough out onto a lightly
floured surface and knead briefly. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into an 8 inch long cylinder. Bend each cylinder into a
ring shape and pinch ends together. With a sharp knife, score each ring
around its outside edge.
Drop rings two at a time into boiling water and boil for 1 minute.
Remove rings from water and place on lightly greased cookie sheets.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
