Viewed: 68 - Published at: 4 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- 1 large egg
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Blend flour, baking powder, salt, sage, cayenne and black pepper in food processor or large bowl.
- Add cold butter and pulse, or quickly blend with your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg until blended. Add to flour mixture and process just until moist clumps begin to form. Do not overmix or you'll have "rubber" biscuits!
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until it holds together, about 6 turns.
- Roll out or pat dough to 1/2" thickness. Using a floured 2" biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut remaining biscuits.
- Transfer biscuits to a large nonstick baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
