  • 1 cup (80g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold buttermilk

Buttermilk Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg
  • Splash of buttermilk

Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Sandwich (4 servings):

  • 2-3 live lobsters or 4 lobster tails
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • 1/2 bunch of finely sliced chives
  • 1 sliced radish (optional)

Directions

Cheddar Bay Biscuit:

  1. Start by combining all-purpose flour with granulated sugar, fine sea salt, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix to combine.
  2. Cut up cold butter into ½” evenly sized cubes.
  3. Pour the flour into a food processor, add in the butter, and pulse 4-5 times until pea size lumps form.
  4. Add in shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Pulse 2-3 more times. Pour mixture back into the bowl.
  5. Mix with cold buttermilk.
  6. Pour dough out and knead until it comes together. Dust with flour and roll out into a circular/rectangular shape.
  7. Fold one side into the center and the other side over that. Push lightly together and  roll out lengthwise. Repeat the letter folding process one last time.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight.
  9. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and in a small bowl whisk an egg with buttermilk.
  10. Generously flour a work surface. Dump out the dough and flour. Roll out into ¾” thick.
  11. Cut out as many pieces as possible using a biscuit cutter. Place onto a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining scraps of dough.
  12. Lightly brush the top with egg wash. Place into an oven set at 425°F for 13-15 minutes.

Sandwich:

  1. Place lobster tails into a pot of gently simmering water and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  2. Immediately plunge cooked lobster into an ice bath. Leave in until cool enough to handle.
  3. Remove all the shells and as much lobster as possible.
  4. For the sauce, in a medium sauce pot add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Place over medium heat.
  5. Once steaming (not simmering or boiling) whisk in cold unsalted butter, starting with 1 tablespoon. Keep whisking and reduce to medium-low.
  6. Add and whisk in more butter until all the butter is added and melted.  Remove from heat and season with salt, juice of a lemon, and finely chopped chives.
  7. Whisk together and return to medium heat just hot enough it’s not simmering or boiling.
  8. Chop up the lobster and add to the butter sauce. Stir together until everything is hot.
  9. Slice a cheddar bay biscuit. Top with a mound of lobster and finish with more chopped chives and top with the other side of the biscuit.
