I love to come up with new recipe ideas; I'm always experimenting. I created these while my sister was pregnant to satisfy a craving, and it really did the trick! —Cindy Esposito, Bloomfield, New Jersey

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2/3 cup warm buttermilk (110° to 115°)
2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
2 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 pound thinly sliced deli smoked turkey
1/2 pound sliced Swiss cheese
Dijon mustard, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm buttermilk and water. Place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add shortening; pulse until shortening is the size of peas. While processing, gradually add yeast mixture and process just until dough forms a ball.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Let rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425°. Bake biscuits 7-9 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool slightly. Preheat broiler.
Split biscuits in half; place bottoms on greased baking sheets. Layer with turkey and cheese. Broil 3-4 in. from heat 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Replace tops. If desired, serve with mustard.

I loved the flavor and texture of these biscuits. I used butter-flavored shortening, which I believed enhanced the taste. Next time, my husband would prefer I add more meat to each sandwich, whereas I might eat the biscuits plain :)
